Intended Learning OutcomesThis course is delivered via Distance Learning, and teaching materials include a module handbook and set readings. Thehandbook first discusses concepts of landscape, followed by techniques of recording, analysing, and interpreting landscapes.It then turns to urban and rural landscapes, ranging from early Greece to the late Roman period, concluding with discussionsof urban planning and public space and the beginnings of the transition to post-Roman landscapes.

Intended learning outcomesOn completion of the module, students should be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the nature and scope of the various sources of evidence for the study ofclassical landscapes (rural and urban)• Analyse and research primary and secondary source materials (both archaeological and textual) relevant to their study• Evaluate current approaches to the study of landscapes in the classical world• Apply suitable research skills and methodologies to their study• Discuss the principal developments in the study of ancient landscapes• Critically evaluate competing theoretical understanding of urban and rural landscapes and the importance of understandingboth within their historical and cultural contexts

Period: FebruaryOccurence: DCoordinator: Naoise Mac SweeneyMark Scheme: PGT Mark Scheme


Intended Learning OutcomesModule OutlineThis module will take place in a particular region of the Mediterranean, and will introduce students to key classical sites andmonuments on the ground in that region. The module will consider the remains of these sites and monuments in detail,encouraging an understanding of these remains in their wider landscape and archaeological context. It will also consider thedevelopment and change of these sites and monuments during different periods of antiquity, highlighting the complex andmulti-layered nature of the classical Mediterranean. It will also encourage an awareness of the practicalities of carrying outresearch in the field; and raise questions about site preservation, presentation to the public, and heritage management.

Aims and ObjectivesThe key objectives are:• To develop an understanding of the archaeoloical remains of key classical sites and monuments in the visited region of theMediterranean• To consider change over time during different periods of antiquity• To encourage an awareness of the practicalities of carrying out research in the field• To stimulate critical assessment of the presentation of classical sites and monuments to visitors and tourists, and considerissues of conservation and heritage management

Teaching and Learning MethodsThis course will primarily be delivered as a ten day study tour, visiting key sites and monuments in one region of theMediterranean. It may be taught in conjunction with staff from local universities or research institutes (e.g. Ege University inIzmir, Centre Jean Berard in Naples), as well as from the foreign schools (e.g. British Institute in Ankara, British School inRome). This will be supplemented by online seminars both before and following the study tour, as well as a module readerand set readings. As part of their private study they will be able to engage in: directed reading; self-assessed exercises;independent research; assignment feedback; academic support from lecturers; electronic discussion groups; peer-groupsupport and interaction.
