Subject Description | This subject provides an introduction to the Bronze Age cultures of Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece, through detailed study of the archaeological remains. Major topics to be covered are state formation, palace economics, cultural development, local and international trade, burial customs, religion and the collapse of these societies. Because these two cultures are known primarily through excavations, study of the artifacts also entails analysis of archaeological methodology and problems of interpretation. |
Assessment | Written work of 2000 words, and a slide test, and a 1-hour examination. |
Prescribed Texts | Materials prepared by the department.
