JS 306 - Archaeology of the Land of Israel

Course Cross-listed with HIS 306 /POL 376 /SOC 306  
3 credit(s)
This course provides students with an overview of the chronological and cultural structure of the archaeological periods from the third millennium through the Byzantine period, with emphasis on the Roman and Byzantine eras. The course includes fieldwork in Israel, lectures, workshops on material culture, museum tours, and field trips. Daily field-school instruction is from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. (total: 15 days of excavation). Lectures and workshops take place each afternoon. Beyond these required activities, a primary objective of the course is a research paper to be completed during the spring or summer following the return to the United States. This course is linked to an integrated companion course, Archaeological Field Methods and Material Culture. All students complete field- and class work for both courses. This course is offered as part of the Archaeological Excavations in Israel, a Winterterm/Summerterm offering.
