	Archaeology Education
		Classical Archaeology is the study of past societies in the Mediterranean region on the basis of surviving material evidence.
		Oftentimes classical archaeology is extended to the area of the Near East, especially to the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Syria, and Egypt, and what is often called "Biblical Archaeology" (the archaeology of "Bible Lands" has close connections with Classical Archaeology).
		The classical periods of Greece and Rome, however, still provide the primary focus for Classical Archaeology and, for that reason, Classical Archaeology is closely related to the study of the classical languages, Greek and Latin, as well as the study of ancient art (i.e., history of art).

		Archaeology is the study of the past by finding the remains left behind by people who lived in the past.
		It was “proof” that archaeology could be done scientifically and objectively and that information about past lifeways could be discovered, and that the pitfalls that seemed so overwhelming could, perhaps, be sidestepped as long as archaeologists were rigorous enough.
		Archaeology, through study of bone fractures and cut marks, can reform the hunting, skinning, and butchering techniques and culinary practices of prehistoric people.

		9:30-10:45A MW FA 102 This lecture course is an introductory survey of the art and archaeology of ancient Greece and Rome from prehistoric times to the 1st century A.C. Readings and assignments will focus on the nature and objectives of classical archaeology and its contribution to our understanding of the past.
		There are three main areas of concentration: the pre-classical civilizations of the Aegean basin (especially Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece), the Greek polis or city-state (emphasis on Archaic and Classical Athens), and the cities and monuments of the Roman Empire (Augustan Rome, Pompeii and Herculaneum).
		We will also consider the use of art and archaeology in politics and propaganda (both ancient and modern), current problems and controversies in classical archaeology, methods of recovery (such as survey, excavation, and museum study), and issues of archaeological ethics.

		With this acquisition, Professor B. de Wet, then Head of Classics, committed his Department and the University of Natal to a long-term project of assembling a small collection of original ancient artefacts.
		He realised that it is difficult for the modern student to make direct contact with the reality of Classical antiquity and that original objects provide a tangible link between the person seeing or holding them today and those who made, bought and used them several thousand years ago.
		With the purchase of the first large amphora in 1988, the Classical antiquities collection was deemed sufficiently large and impressive to be called a Museum.
