ART 338 - Field School in Archaeology

6 Cr. Hrs.

This course provides the opportunity to receive training and experience in archaeological fieldwork. The current project targets the rich archaeological past of San Giuliano in the Lazio province of Italy, a site best known for hundreds of Etruscan tombs (900-300BC). Students receive hands-on training in archaeological methods and theory supplemented by lectures on the history and material culture of the region, and participate in weekend excursions to culturally significant destinations such as Rome, Florence, and Venice. The 5-week course is operated in conjunction with the Baylor University San Giuliano Archaeological Research Program (SGARP), and AU students work alongside Baylor students and are instructed by AU and BU faculty. Open to all interested AU students, pending instructor approval.
Prerequisite(s): Sophomore status.
