Features

Classical archaeology is a historical cultural science. It studies the ancient Mediterranean region and the neighbouring areas that were part of the Roman Empire. In terms of time, the field of research ranges from early Greek history, i.e. the Minoans and Mycenaeans from the 3rd millennium BC onwards, to late antiquity around 500 AD, and sometimes beyond, when phenomena of ancient cultures can be traced into more recent times. The focus is on Greek and Roman culture, but also on their neighbours with whom they were in lively exchange, especially the Etruscans and Phoenicians, as well as the modern reception of antiquity. Sometimes scientific methods are also used.
