Course Description
Oxford has one of the largest groups of classical archaeologists of any university in the world, covering the full span of classical art and archaeology from the Aegean Bronze Age through the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods to the Byzantine world. Research and teaching staff have interests in all aspects of the period, ranging from Linear B, visual art and representation, classical art history and reception of classical culture, architecture, settlement patterns, landscape, economy and ancient technology. The Sackler Library's collection of archaeological journals and books is widely recognised as one of the best in the world, and the Bodleian library is a copyright library holding copies of every book published in Britain, together with a large collection of foreign publications. The Ashmolean Museum holds internationally important collections of Greek, Roman and Near Eastern pottery, artefacts and coins, and its Cast Gallery contains numerous plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures. Other research facilities are available in the Institute of Archaeology, and the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art. Classical archaeologists at Oxford also enjoy the benefit of contact with numerous colleagues in ancient history who have strong interests in archaeology. Both undergraduate courses and graduate research seminars emphasise the links between ancient history and archaeology.
