Faculty First Year Seminars 197CL2 - Pompeii - A brief intro to Arc

This course is intended to introduce incoming students to the world of ancient studies (classics and classical archaeology, specifically) through the world famous archaeological site of Pompeii, Italy. Seminars will cover a range of topics, from how classical archaeology differs from anthropological archaeology, what the body casts of Pompeii really are, and how to build an ancient city. Implicit within the syllabus, but explicit by the end of the course, is the goal of helping students gain familiarity with two things: where their own interests lie and how exciting academic research can be.
