Description including Unit Aims

This unit considers the colonial activities of the Greeks between 800 and 336BC. It takes a thematic approach and uses historical and archaeological evidence. Comparisons will be made between practices abroad and traditions in the homeland in order to determine what it meant to be a Greek resident in an overseas settlement. Students will have sites as individual case studies and will be expected to participate in weekly seminar discussions.
