Facultas Archaeologiae
General Information
Academia Thules Archaelogy faculty
-Subject: Classical Archaeology
Archaeology faculty in Academia Thules is roughly the equivalent of what concept of classical archaeology contains in some other institutions of learning. The aim of the faculty is to teach methodology of archaeology and offer basic cultural information about ancient Roman and Greek cultures that is essential in understanding how to interpret archaeological evidence obtained from those periods. As the nature of Academia Thules is international and our working environment is virtual, the teaching is based heavily on theorhetical studies in English.
