There is no examination element to the course. Teaching methods: This course is taught through lectures introducing students to key issues in archaeological theory and methods, and in-­‐‑class discussions for more in-­‐‑depth exploration of specific topics. Workload: There will be 20 hours of lectures for this course. Students will be expected to undertake around 90 hours of reading for the course, plus 78 hours preparing for and producing the assessed work. This adds up to a total workload of some 188 hours for the course. Prerequisites: Students planning to take this course will normally be expected previously to have taken either ARCL1002 Introduction to Roman Archaeology, or ARCL1004 Introduction to Greek Archaeology in their first year, which provides the relevant background material, which will be built upon in this course. 1 2. AIMS, OBJECTIVES Aims: The course aims to provide students with an introduction to key issues in archaeological theory and data analysis in relation to materials from the ancient Mediterranean world and Classical antiquity, providing a theoretical and methodological underpinning for specialized regional and period options taken in the second and third years. Objectives: 1) Develop skills and knowledge required to assess the coherence, value and relevance of a variety of theoretical frameworks employed in archaeology; 2) Gain an understanding of the major developments in the history of archaeological thought and theory, with particular reference to the ancient world; 3) Critical understanding of underlying assumptions, analytical methods and quality of evidence in archaeology of the ancient world; 4) Develop basic practical skills in data analysis and interpretation. Outcomes: On successful completion of the course students should have developed the ability to: ŗǼȱȱȱ¢ȱȱȱȂȱDz 2) produce logical and structured arguments supported by relevant evidence; 3) make critical and effective use of skills in organization and analysis of data. 3: ASSESSMENT The provisional deadlines for the following assessment are as follows: a) Essay on archaeological theory Wednesday 25th November 2015 b) Assessment on data analysis Monday 18th January 2016 Except for Affiliate Students present at the Institute for only Term I (see Course Co-­‐‑odinator) Assessment One (theory): Choose one of the following essay topics: 1. In what respects and why is the intellectual tradition of classical archaeology different from mainstream archaeology? What special problems and/or opportunities does this present? 2. ȱȱȱ¢ȱȱȱȃȱ ȱ¢Ȅȱȱȱ ȱ¡ȱ has it proven a helpful perspective in classical archaeology? 3. Using two or more case-­‐‑studiesǰȱ¢ȱȱȂȱȱ to the understanding of ancient landscapes and their value for Classical archaeology. 2 4. ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȃȄȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȃ¡Ȅȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ endeavor? 5. What theoretical and philosophical debates have informed Classical archaeology outside the confines of Anglo-­‐‑phone scholarship? Answer by using two or more case-­‐‑studies. 6. How has the sociological concept of agency been used by archaeologists to interpret the past? Answer through the analysis of at least two case-­‐‑studies. 7. Either: a) What are the current debates around the notion of identity among Classical archaeologists? Or: b) How has the postcolonial concept of hybridity entered Classical archaeology? Is it a useful concept? Discuss using at least two case-­‐‑studies. 8. What is the place of Classical archaeology in current debates on the politics of archaeology? Can it contribute to such debates and if so how? Discuss using at least two case-­‐‑studies. 9. Using at least two case studies, discuss how gender issues may inform our understanding of the material record of the ancient world. Assessment Two (data): Vericomodium: a Roman town in Central Italy. Vericomodium is a small Roman town in central Italy. Situated in the Apennines, it lies in a valley between two ridges of the mountains on the flat fertile plain at the foot of a small mountain. The valley, some 40km long and up to 6km wide, is extensively used for modern arable agriculture and is largely ploughed land. The footslopes of the mountains are occupied with terraces for vines, and the upper slopes and mountain tops are rough grass and grazing mainly used for sheep and goats. At some point in the post-­‐‑Roman period the settlement shifted slightly onto the lower footslopes of the mountain leaving the site of the Roman town largely unoccupied although the remains were quarried for building stone, much of which can be seen in the medieval walls and palaces of the modern town. In recent years, the modern town has expanded beyond the confines of the medieval walls back onto the flat plain, and as a result the Roman archaeology is now under threat from development. Excavation at the town had been largely limited to some rather crude work in the 1920s. Since the turn of the millennium, however, an international team in close collaboration with the local University and the Soprintendenza have been excavating at the town with excellent results. The team consists of a number of ȱ ȃ-­‐‑ 3 Ȅȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ the research programme. You have just taken up a position with one of the collaborating Universities and it has been suggested that you might like to design ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȃ-­‐‑ Ȅǯȱȱȱȱȱȱȱ¡ǯ 1. Landscape analysis. Up until now, the project has focused on the site of the main town due to the threat from development. Obviously, it is essential that the town in situated within its wider landscape context. Non-­‐‑destructive survey in the hinterland would be a valuable addition to the project. 2. Finds assemblages. The excavations have turned up large numbers of different classes of finds and the excavators are always after willing scholars to investigate the material. In particular, the coinage, small finds and glass assemblages need analysis. (NB. Choose one of these types of find. You may choose a different class in consultation with the class tutor.) 3. Use of space. The excavations have uncovered a series of second century domestic structures with a rich finds assemblage. Questions have been raised as to ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǯȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ Ȃȱ ǵȱ ¢ȱ ǵȱ ȱ hierarchy? The evidence available includes environmental evidence from rubbish ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȁȱ ¢Ȃȱ ǰȱ ȱ ȱ associated ceramics, pottery and other finds from the grander internal gardens, small finds from some of the smaller rooȱȱȱǯȱȱȱȃȄȱȱ ȱȱ floors, however, are remarkably free from finds. For your assignment you need to choose ONE of the three suggested research projects. (If you would like to investigate some other aspect of the settlement please consult with Kris Lockyear.) You need to write an informal research design for your project in order to sell the idea to the rest of the team. For all the projects, you need to consider the aims of your piece of research: what are the interesting questions about the ancient world that you are seeking to answer? This will draw heavily on the reading you have undertaken for the theory section of this course (sessions 1 to 5) as well as your wider knowledge of current research issues in classical archaeology. Then, you should draw on your reading for research designs discussed in the session six of the course. Be aware that this is a piece of research that you will undertake, possibly aided by student labour in the summer recess and should be of an appropriate scale. Formation processes are going to be important in your research, and you should mention how these would impact on your project and how you might approach investigating them. This will draw on your reading for session 7 of this course. For each topic you need to consider what analysis methods you might use drawing on your reading from sessions 8 to 10 of the course. You should show 4 awareness of comparative projects such as other field surveys, other finds analyses and so forth. This informal research proposal should be 2,375-­‐‑2,625 words. You should ensure it has a strong structure and use of headings to break the proposal down is recommended. Remember your colleagues are all over-­‐‑worked and stressed and you need to make the aims and methods you propose to use clear. You should demonstrate the context of your design by appropriate referencing of relevant materials. Remember to use the author-­‐‑date system, not footnote referencing. This assignment draws upon the readings for each week of the class. Each week we will also discuss in class how what we have been discussing might be used in the assignment. If students are unclear about the nature of an assignment, they should discuss this with the Course Co-­‐‑ordinator. Students are not permitted to re-­‐‑write and re-­‐‑submit essays in order to try to improve their marks. However, the nature of the assignment and possible approaches to it will be discussed in class, in advance of the submission deadline, if students would like to receive further guidance. Word-­‐‑length The following should not be included in the word-­‐‑count: title page, contents pages, lists of figure and tables, abstract, preface, acknowledgements, bibliography, lists of references, captions and contents of tables and figures, appendices. The word length for each assignment is ŘǰřŝśȭŘǰŜŘś. Penalties will only be imposed if you exceed the upper figure in the range. There is no penalty for using fewer words than the lower figure in the range: the lower figure is simply for your guidance to indicate the sort of length that is expected. 3. SCHEDULE AND SYLLABUS Lectures will be held 9:00-­‐‑11:00 on Thursday mornings in Room B13 in IoA Lecturers: Corinna Riva (CR), Kris Lockyear (KL). FULL SYLLABUS AND READING LIST The following is an outline for the course as a whole, and identifies essential and supplementary readings relevant to each session. Information is provided as to where in the UCL library system individual readings are available; their location and Teaching Collection (TC) number, and status (whether out on loan) can also be accessed on the eUCLid computer catalogue system. Readings marked with an * are considered essential to keep up with the topics covered in the course, and often will form the basis of in-­‐‑class discussions. Copies of individual articles and chapters identified as essential reading are in the 5 Teaching Collection in the Institute Library (where permitted by copyright) or available online. The essay topics are keyed to the lectures, each listing essential reading. While each essay focuses on a particular class, critical evaluation of any one perspective is much enriched by knowledge of others. The strengths and limitations of new archaeology, for example, are best seen in relation to traditional and post-­‐‑ processual archaeologies. In short, to write good essays, you will need to have read at the very least the essential readings from the whole range of topics.

In answering this, we will discuss the important realisation that gender, whether male, female or other, is culturally constructed, and that gender is part of the identity of an individual. We will look at the evolution of gender theories in the course of the last two decades that has seen a shift of scholarly attention towards the body as the medium through which the individual interacts with the world and in society.

(SLC Science MAU) Lecture 10: The politics of Archaeology In the previous sessions, we will have realised that archaeology is not a discipline living in a glass case; quite the contrary, the theoretical debates and intellectual shifts so far discussed demonstrate the political nature of these debates. This is also the case with Classical Archaeology that has recently come under serious scrutiny for its contribution to the construction of Western identities and European national imaginations in what is today a global world. What is the role of Classical Archaeology in this world? This is not a question belonging to a theory book, but one that is at the very centre of the practice of the discipline today and, some claim, the survival of Classical Archaeology.
