About the Course

This class is an introduction to the history and archaeology of Cyprus from prehistory to the modern day through involvement with the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project (PKAP) in Larnaka, Cyprus. The project introduces students to the field methods of archaeological research, provides a survey of the history of the island through field trips, and immerses students in modern Cypriot culture. In May 2015, we are planning a study season and an additional program of field work. The class is open to students of all majors and qualifies for a cross-cultural waiver. For past courses, see PKAP Blog and PKAP Student Blog.

Estimated Cost: $3,900
