This course covers Greek art and archaeology from the Bronze Age to the end of the Classical period. It deals with sculpture, architecture, painted pottery and wall painting and places these artistic developments in their social, political and historical contexts.

Sites covered include Knossos, Mycenae, Athens, Vergina, Olympia and Delphi. The coursewill focus on art and archaeology but it will also discuss topics such as gender and the household; burial and society; sanctuaries, landscape and the countryside.
