Qui di seguito viene riportato il programma completo dei corsi con tutte le indicazioni utili per gli interessati. Ritengo di farvi cosa gradita dandovi la traduzione della presentazione relativa al corso intitolato EXPLORING ROMAN BRITAIN, in quanto rispecchia con maggiore aderenza la natura e i temi di questa mia rubrica.

Exploring Roman Britain

Britain was part of the Roman empire for about 400 years, in the first half of the first millennium AD. The impact of this can still be recognised in the British landscape today, but what was life like for people in Britain during that time? Using archaeological evidence, this course will explore the long-term effects of Roman rule on different communities around the country.  

Traduzione:

Esplorare la Britannia Romana

La Britannia fece parte dell'impero Romano per circa 400 anni, nella prima metà del primo millennio dopo Cristo. L'impatto di ciò è tuttora riconoscibile oggigiorno nel panorama del territorio britannico; ma com'era la vita della gente in Britannia durante tutto quel tempo? Ricorrendo alla prova archeologica, questo corso esplorerà gli effetti a lungo termine della dominazione romana su diverse comunità sparse nel paese.  

Online Courses in Archaeology

We are pleassed to announce a new online Archeaology course for January 2008, Ritual and Religion in Prehistory, to join our existing courses, Exploring Roman Britain and Origins of Human Behaviour.

We will be adding further courses to our archaeology catalogue throughout the year. If you are interested, then do add your name to our mailing list to ensure that you hear about the courses as they go live.

NEW! Ritual and Religion in Prehistory

How can we begin to understand the spiritual lives of people in the distant past? When do religious ideologies first appear on the human evolutionary timescale? How can we recognise and interpret ancient myth and ritual from the burial mounds, temples, art and artefacts left by our prehistoric ancestors? Using key concepts drawn from anthropology, these and many other questions will be examined as we take a global view of the archaeological evidence for prehistoric rituals and religion.

Origins of Human Behaviour: the evidence from archaeology

What makes the human species different from other primates? When did we become human? This course examines these questions by reviewing the archaeological and fossil evidence for the development of human behaviour from six million years ago to the end of the last ice age. 

The Department for Continuing Education also offers a class-based, Undergraduate Certificate in Archaeology. See here for details.
