cori's archaeology and classics in the community
Leicester,
Archaeology offers numerous possibilities for developing key concepts and
skills, such as an understanding of chronological ordering, an understanding and
appreciation of cultural, ethnic and religious diversity, the application and
underlying principles of scientific methods and critical reflection on the
interpretation of the past. Classics is an interdisciplinary subject which
includes the study of the literature, languages, history and material culture of
the ancient world, and their impact on later periods and cultures. Both subjects
complement many areas of the curriculum. Our knowledge of the past is based on
texts and objects, and is constantly changing as different interpretations are
offered. Study of archaeology and classical subjects encourages pupils to think
critically about the value of different sources of information, to form
arguments based on different types of evidence, and to combine theories and
methods from different subjects as they encounter new cultures and
civilisations. Through our workshops, subject talks and teaching resources, we
can help you to bring archaeology and classics to life in the classroom!
