DESCRIPTION
Development of the European Mediterranean societies and civilizations from the arrival of the first humans, the transition from a hunter-gatherer way of life to farming, the discovery of metalworking, up to the Roman conquest of the continent. Particular emphasis on southern France, placed in a larger historical and archeological context to show the main aspects of the multiple contacts, exchanges and cultural influences with Greeks, Celts and Romans in this area. Site visits, in Marseilles, Arles and Saint-Remy-de Provence, are an integral part of the archeology course and initiation to the techniques and methods of archeology by the participation in excavation and/or post-excavation work.
