Inhoud vak
This course offers you an overview of the major historical and culturaldevelopments in the Mediterranean and the Near East between ca. 4000 and
300 BC. The overview is presented on the basis of a selection of
objects, buildings and findplaces. Recurring themes are the emergence
and development of states and political systems, cultural identity and
interconnectivity. Two aspects are particularly important: how
developments in different parts of the Mediterranean and Near East were
interrelated, and the interplay between material culture and mental
concepts in these developments. Next to the lectures, you work on
assignments for the weekly seminars that help you to further explore
specific topics, to relate theory to practice, and to work with written
sources (in translation) and original (archaeological) materials from
the collection of the Allard Pierson Museum.
