Summary

Archaeology offers a unique perspective on human history and culture – where, how, and when people lived. In this course, students will come to better understand the Ancient world through archaeology and by examining patterns and changes over time.

Instructor: Phillip Campbell

Course Description: This course will introduce students to the basic concepts of archaeology, one of the most important disciplines in the study of history. Archaeological principles will be discussed and demonstrated in case studies of some of the world's most famous ancient sites. Students will put their learning to work by writing a paper on an archaeological site of their choosing.

Special notes

Includes a writing component. If you want all of your children to study Ancient history together, this course fits into our 4-year History Cycle (matching grade school, middle school, and high school courses).
