| Course description | This course will provide a survey of the culture and history of Cyprus from early prehistory to medieval times and will explain the wider social developments in the Eastern Mediterranean and the role of Cyprus within this context. Archaeology and Ancient History are combined to investigate how Cyprus formed its own culture and identity while belonging to wider or smaller cultural and political systems. This synthesis is intended to encourage critical evaluation of archaeological material, and the development of research skills. |
