A systematic survey in lecture format (offered jointly with an undergraduate section) of the remains of the buried city of Pompeii. The course aims to familiarize students with the ways in which archaeologists and historians have used the broad array of evidence available from the town (e.g., buildings, frescoes, sculpture, private archives, graffiti, pottery, metalwork and other portable material culture, human remains, environmental data) to illuminate various aspects of its social, political, religious, and economic life. Students complete a research design/mock grant proposal for a program of investigation regarding some aspect of Pompeii. (Dyson)
