This course investigates the medieval port city o f Maroneia in northern Greece in its wider Mediterranean context. The prima ry objective of the course is to train students in significant values and a rchaeological methods\, including data analysis and management\, the close study of excavated artifacts\, and the digitization of excavation archives\ , such archaeological diaries\, photographs and drawings. Students will als o gain an understanding of the material culture and archaeological remains of medieval Greece as well as insights into how these are made accessible a nd available to the academic community\, the classroom\, and the wider publ ic. These objectives will be achieved through hands-on experience of archae ological fieldwork and study as part of the Maroneia Archaeological Project (MAP). The project involves the processing and sorting of archaeological f inds\, including ceramics\, that have been collected through excavation\; t heir interpretation with the aim of understanding the connections a medieva l harbor in northern Greece had with the outside world\; and the examinatio n of excavated medieval houses\, tombs and churches. In addition to contrib uting to the study of archaeological materials\, students will attend semin ars on Classical and Byzantine archaeology in Greece and visit important mu seums and cultural heritage sites in northern Greece. In addition to introd ucing students to the landscape of modern Greece\, this type of work in the field will foster a collaborative spirit among students and will promote t he value of teamwork. Finally\, students will be encouraged to use the data and finds they studied in the field to initiate their own individual cours e projects.
