Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: The modern Rhine-Main area looks onto a rich history characterized by a multitude of diverse cultures. Its location in the heart of Europe allows us to regard it as a true cultural hub. This interdisciplinary and primarily archaeological course aims at introducing students of all disciplines to a selection of sites and finds throughout the above mentioned timeline - focussing only on significant historic events - and to the currently main applied methods. It is open to all exchange students and all students of the JGU and consists of a seminar (2 hrs) and an obligatory tutorial (2 hrs). Both will be held online on a web based conference system. Please ensure that you are equipped with a web cam, in order to participate in the interactive course. A field trip to some prominent sites in Mainz (in person) will be offered towards the end of the course, if possible. Should the pandemic situation not allow this, you will be offered a virtual excursion instead. You are required to undertake 2 oral online exams (each ca. 15 mins and you have the choice between a German and an English version) which you will have to pass with at least 50% each to receive your credit points (8 ECTS in total). Apart from that you are invited to contribute a short presentation (10-15 mins.) and/or to hand in a seminar paper (in German or English), should you require it. After receiving your results hereof, you of course would be free to decide whether it should be included in your course grading or not. Course schedule Mondays, 12.15 pm – 01.45 pm Fridays, 12.15 pm – 01.45 pm How to register for the seminar and tutorial: Exchange students: Attention: a JGU email address is necessary for your registration to participate in this course!
