February 2012


The programme aims to develop the student’s interest in, and knowledge and understanding of the

material culture of Greco-Roman antiquity, and the methods by which it is discovered, preserved and

interpreted. Classical Archaeology comprises the study of field and analytical methodologies;

traditions and contemporary practices in museology; critical traditions in the interpretation of material

culture; the comparative study of art historical genres or themes; the study of Greco-Roman art and

material culture in its contemporary social and material context; and the reception of Greco-Roman

art in western Europe. The Programme aims to foster respect for the student’s own and others’

culture and values and a capacity for critical reasoning and judgement. The intellectual training also

aims to encourage flexibility of approach.

A Classical Archaeology honours degree (in common with all programmes offered by this

Department) depends on proper interaction between in-depth training in a skill, and the intellectual

training common to all Humanities degrees. At the heart of a university education in the Classics

Department is the need to teach Greek and Latin, to impart a knowledge of ancient cultures, and to

train students’ own intellectual and personal skills. The Department’s aims are therefore:

To train students to think logically, to develop analytical skills, to Assess evidence, to exercise

judgement, and to reach coherent decisions through the study of modules of high intellectual

content.

To train students to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.

To produce intelligent, adaptable, articulate and independently minded graduates who will satisfy

the needs of employers in a wide range of occupations, and who will become life-long learners

with an appreciation of the value to society of an education in the Humanities.

17. Educational objectives of the programme/programme outcomes The programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and

understanding and skills in the following areas:

Knowledge and understanding

The programme provides a knowledge and

understanding of the following:

1. The material culture of Greco-Roman

antiquity, the history and methodology of

its discovery and preservation;

2. The similarities and differences between

the culture of Greek and Roman antiquity

and the student’s own culture;

3. The history of Classical archaeology as a

discipline and its relationship to other

disciplines in the Humanities and

sciences;

4. Complementary subjects related to Greco-

Roman antiquity – drawn from such fields

as language, literature, linguistics,

philosophy, history, or theme-based topics

which cross the boundaries between them

(e.g. religion, gender studies) – and

periods;

5. An appropriate and diverse range of

primary materials, e.g. literary,

philosophical and historical texts, art

objects, artefacts and their contexts,

These are achieved through the following

teaching/learning methods and strategies:

Skills 1-3, 5-7 are acquired in small-group

lectures, seminars and tutorials in each of years

1, 2 and 3 on topics related to classical

archaeology. Skill 4 is acquired through taking

modules from programmes in other

departments. Skill 5 is addressed through all

modules making use of primary materials, in the

case of written material either in the original or

in translation, in the case of material culture

either through reproductions or direct contact in

museums. Students are made aware that class

contact time is the departure point for their

learning, the greater part of which must be self-

motivated. Tutors advise on secondary reading,

on locating resources, and on securing

fieldwork and museum placements; students

should undertake a one-term placement at the

Museum of London Archaeological Service as

part of the first year compulsory core module.

The importance of independent reading and the

development of practical skills is stressed at all

inscriptions, landscape;

6. A range of techniques and methodologies,

such as bibliographical and library

research skills, a range of skills in

archaeological fieldwork and the curation

method, the visual skills characteristic of

art criticism, use of statistics,

interpretation of scientific data, skills in

translation from and/or into Greek

(ancient) and/or Latin;

7. A range of viewpoints on problems of

interpretation and evaluation, and a

variety of critical approaches to them

drawn from different disciplines within

the subject area

8. Appropriate personal and professional

conduct in the context of the discipline.

levels. Learning is enhanced by effective

preparation, in terms of background reading,

and by participation in archaeological field

participation in archaeological field projects or

voluntary museum work.

Assessment:

Learning outcomes are tested through a

combination of assessed coursework and final,

unseen, examination. Assessed coursework is

principally in the form of essays, but may

include an element for analysis of ancient

sources.

Skills and other attributes

Intellectual skills:

1. A command of the ancient Greek and

Latin languages;

2. Can analyse more abstract texts,

knowledge and skills in addressing them.



Intellectual skills are developed through the

teaching and learning programme outlined

above. All modules, however taught, involve

discussion of key issues, practice in applying

concepts both orally and in writing, analysis

and interpretation of materials, and individual

feedback sessions on coursework and on

general progress.

Assessment:

The assessment methods outlined above

demand the development of skills 1-5. 5 will be

demonstrated increasingly, from years 1 to 3,

but will be most evident in year 3. The

Practical skills:

1. Can operate in complex and

unpredictable contexts, requiring

selection and application from a wide

range of methods and activities;

2. Able to act autonomously, with minimal

supervision or direction, within agreed

guidelines.



All students receive guidance on identifying,

locating and using material in libraries and

elsewhere. Comprehensive bibliographies are

module descriptions and essay titles. First-year

students are given a guide to the production of

essays, giving examples of citations, notes and

critical apparatus, and guidance on attribution

February 2012


of sources. First-year compulsory core modules

introduce students to analysis of texts in

translation from thematic, generic and

methodological perspectives.

Assessment:

These skills are primarily assessed through

assessed coursework, required for most

modules and final examinations.

Generic/transferable skills:

1. Can interact effectively within a

team/learning group, recognise, support

or be proactive in leadership, negotiate

and manage conflict;

2. With minimum guidance can manage

own learning using full range of

resources for the discipline(s);

3. Is confident in application of own criteria

of judgement and can challenge received

opinion. Can seek and make use of

feedback;

4. Can select and manage information,

competently undertaking reasonably

minimum guidance;

5. Can take responsibility for own work and

can criticise it;

6. Can engage effectively in debate in a

professional manner and give detailed

and coherent presentations;

7. Is confident and flexible in identifying

and defining complex issues and can apply

appropriate knowledge and skills in

addressing them.



Small-group teaching in all modules develops

skills 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. Skills 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 are

developed through written work and feedback

on same. Skills 1, 3 and 6 are relevant to

tutorials, seminars and discussions.

Assessment:

Skills 2-7 are assessed through essays, class

participation and oral presentations. Skill 1 is

not formally assessed but is inherent in

exposure to the subject.

18. Statement of how the programme has been informed by the relevant subject benchmark

statement(s)/professional and statutory body guidelines

The programme has been informed and is supported by the relevant parts of the Archaeology and

Classics & Ancient History benchmark statements. The areas of subject skills inform all stages of the

programme but, given the wide historical and geographical range of modules offered, subject-related

skills have particular importance. Examples of subject-related skills are an understanding of: Greco-

roman art and material culture; critical traditions in their interpretation; the importance of recovering,

recording and preserving primary data through practical experience.

processing and publication), and utilising the LAARC artefact collections held at Mortimer Wheeler

House. Most teaching will take place on these premises, with occasional visits to excavations as

available.
