Brown Pre-College Summer Program, Archaeology of Ancient Greece

Best for: High school students who want an introduction to Greek archaeology and material culture, especially if they’re excited by architecture, sculpture, and vase painting . Day to day: The course moves era-by-era from Minoan/Mycenaean Greece through the Dark Age, Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, using Biers’s Archaeology of Ancient Greece as the main text and working closely with architectural plans, artistic techniques, and major historical context. Common pitfalls: This is reading and study-heavy, so students should be ready to keep up with sustained textbook learning and careful visual interpretation of artifacts and plans.
