Pre-Classical Levant and Mediterranean (4th-1st millennium BC)

Global Humanities

Mon, Thu 10-12, Aula A, 1st Floor, Faculty of Letters (CU003)

Classroom: https://classroom.google.com/c/MjEyNzYzNjgyMjBa?cjc=ygqduee

Lectures will start the 24th of February 2025

The course aims to provide foundational knowledge of the archaeology of the Levant and
the coastal regions of the central and western Mediterranean during the pre-classical
period (4th–1st millennium BCE). The course will follow two parallel paths:

1. PRE-CLASSICAL LEVANT (Prof. Daria Montanari)
This section offers an introduction to the archaeology of the pre-classical Levant,
focusing on specific topics, particularly the Chalcolithic period. It contextualizes and
highlights the development of local societies and the characteristics of material
culture in relation to preceding and subsequent periods.
A part of the course will address the general geographic and chronological
framework of the Levant, from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age. The
Chalcolithic Period will then be examined in detail, exploring its general and specific
characteristics, including material culture through ceramic, lithic, and metallurgical
analyses, as well as sacred and domestic architecture and social features.

2. PRE-CLASSICAL MEDITERRANEAN (Prof. Federica Spagnoli)
This section provides a foundational understanding of the major civilizations that
form the complex mosaic of pre-classical Mediterranean cultures. Beginning with
the Neolithic period in Cyprus, the course will outline the main characteristics of
2nd-millennium BCE cultures in selected regions of the central and western
Mediterranean.
Key case studies will be presented to illustrate settlements, sacred structures,
burials, and infrastructure in major sites from the following regions: Malta, Sicily,
Sardinia, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Balearic Islands.
