PhD in Classical Archaeology in Charlotte United States | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

For more than five decades, Classical Archaeology at UNC has maintained its status as a nationally prominent program within the Department of Classics. Both graduate and undergraduate curricula highlight material culture studies as an essential aspect of classical research, Mediterranean archaeology, and ancient Near Eastern scholarship. The Department actively contributes to the interdisciplinary Archaeology Curriculum. UNC's exceptional breadth of archaeology faculty spanning five Arts and Sciences units enables collaborative, cross-disciplinary educational and research initiatives. The Classical Archaeology program currently involves five faculty members across two departments—Classics and Religious Studies—and benefits from collaboration with five more classical archaeologists at nearby Duke University via the Duke-UNC Consortium for Classical and Mediterranean Archaeology. Another ten archaeologists in Anthropology and Research Laboratories of Archaeology provide supplementary coursework in archaeological methodology, theoretical approaches, landscape studies, complex societies, historical ecology, ceramic analysis, palaeoethnobotany, and biological anthropology.
