Broken Pots, Big Ideas: Using Ancient Ceramics to Teach Economy, Trade and Cultural Exchange

This workshop is designed for high-school educators seeking to incorporate archaeological evidence into their teaching of the ancient Mediterranean in concrete, accessible ways. It introduces ceramics as a uniquely powerful category of material culture for classroom use: abundant, visually legible, and deeply informative about trade, technology, daily life, and social organization.
