Archaeology and Ancient History

Archaeology, together with ancient history, is the reconstruction of past societies using whatever type of data remains, whether this is structural, artefactual, documentary or literary. It explores the genesis, evolution and characteristics of the patterns of human existence on both cognitive and practical levels. The Centre for Archaeology and Ancient History offers one of only two programs in Australia that provide supervision of research degrees in Egyptology, and is one of the few offering supervision in related areas of Near Eastern Archaeology. Principal areas of research include Archaeology and Ancient History - Ancient Egypt; Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece; trade in the bronze age Mediterranean world; republican and imperial Roman history; and Romano-Jewish relations.
