Site
Report: March 5
You should
submit a brief report on one classical archaeological site. The report should contain the following information:
-
where the site is
located;
-
what type of site
was it (city, sanctuary, military camp, etc.) and when was it occupied;
-
when and by whom the
site was excavated or explored;
-
what the site looks
like now; and
-
where you got your information..
You can get
information to write your report anywhere you like (print or electronic,
but make sure that the source(s) you use are reliable; your grade will
be reduced if the information you present is wrong or superficial; it's
probably best to use something a little better than an encyclopedia).
The report should be 2-3 pages long and (in addition) it should
have at least one plan of the site.
You may draw the plan yourself or you may take it from another source
(but you should indicate where you got it). You
should not use a single large ancient city (such as Athens or Rome) as a
“site” (those cities are made up of many smaller sites), nor should
you use one of the topics of your Internet reports for the site report.
This assignment should be submitted
in class on March 5.
