This interdisciplinary workshop serves as a meeting ground for those who work on the ancient world at Yale and is an important forum that allows sustained conversation about a common theme. The workshop meets once a month during the academic year and is supplemented by the core graduate seminar in the Archaia program. Presenters include visiting professors and Yale faculty. The chronological scope of the seminar extends from 3000 BCE until 1000 CE (and sometimes later in global circumstances where antiquity and early modernity overlap).
