The Oriental Curriculum pursues the attainment of an in-depth specialized knowledge in the field of study of the ancient pre-classical civilizations of the Near East, in the chronological arc that goes from the formation of urban civilization (in the 4th millennium B.C.) to the death of Alexander the Great (323 B.C.) and, as far as the geographical extension is concerned, from Anatolia to the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan), to Mesopotamia, Iran, Arabia and the Indus Valley. It also includes the coastal regions of the Mediterranean and its major islands (Cyprus, Malta, Sicily, Sardinia and the Balearic Islands) with regard to the Phoenician and Punic expansion and presence in the West. The scope of the specialization is that of the two courses corresponding to the disciplines "Archaeology and Art History of the Ancient Near East" and "Phoenician-Punic Archaeology". The methodology is focused on the study of the contexts (archaeological landscape, settlement system, urban planning and architecture), of the material culture (production, circulation, function) and of the artistic culture (creation, function, fruition) in a historical-archaeological perspective.
