Archéologie classique
This site is meant for the students who take the seminar of introduction to archaeology at the Geneva University (under Professor Patrizia Birchler Emery). It is divided into two parts: the first part considers the various methods of working; the other lists successively the various chronological periods of time in which one fits the material productions of the studied societies. Each lesson, generated by the website, starts with a page of general remarks; it then sums up the chronology, the various sites and archaeological materials of a given period. Students are thus ready to discuss the set out issues with their professor, during course time. The iconotheque is only meant for students.
