硕士 （荣誉）古代地中海文明

该跨学科计划将古代历史资源的研究与考古学的理论和实践相结合，为探索希腊，罗马，埃及和近东的古代文明提供了机会。从最广泛的意义上说，地中海的古代文明始于西亚的农业发展和复杂社会的增长，最终随着基督教和伊斯兰教的兴起而达到顶峰。这些文明的影响范围从北欧的不列颠北部海岸扩展到近东及其他地区的伊朗边界。在此期间幸存的丰富文学和文献文献为文化提供了有趣的见解和这些古代文明的社会。对这些引人入胜的文献资料的分析是该计划的重要组成部分。但是，历史记录通常是零散的，有时偏向于重大事件或杰出人物。考古学是对过去人民的遗物的
This joint degree combines the study of archaeology and classics.<br>By bringing together the study of ancient historical sources with the theory and practice of archaeology, you will explore the ancient civilisations of Greece, Rome, Egypt and the Near East.<br>In the broadest sense the ancient civilisations of the Mediterranean began with the development of farming and the growth of complex societies in western Asia. This culminated with the rise of Christianity and Islam.<br>The influence of these civilisations extended over a huge area from the northern coasts of Britain in Northwest Europe to the boundaries of Iran in the Near East and beyond.<br>Analysis of these compelling documentary sources forms a key component of this programme. However, historical accounts are often fragmentary, and are sometimes biased towards major events or prominent individuals.<br>Archaeology is the study of the material remains of past peoples. It offers an extra source of evidence for reconstructing and understanding the day-to-day lives of the ancient Mediterranean people.
