Ever since the discovery of Herculaneum in 1738 and Pompeii in 1748 the fascination with ancient lost cities has fueled public imagination.  The quest for fortunate and glory led many Victorian explorers on quests for fabled cities swallowed by a jungle or long hidden by earthquakes, floods, or volcanoes.  The fascination of lost cities has been the subject of many novels, movies, and even video games.  The discovery of some of the lost civilizations continue to amaze us.  In this class students will learn about real lost cities that have been discovered and studied by archaeologists.  

The course is organized into lectures and labs.  The lectures will take place in a live streaming classroom with the instructor and will consist of Powerpoint presentations and open discussion.  Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the lecture discussion.  Each class will also contain optional lab activities that relate to each week’s topic.  Lab activities will be conducted on your own.  Directions for each lab will be provided as a pdf or as a video for some of the labs.  For the lab activities that use videos the URL address is provided in the external sources section. Students will not be graded and all assignments during the course are optional but encouraged to help students better understand the topics.
