Wednesdays, 9:00 – 10:00 AM
The Oscar at Georgetown, Theater
In Person and On-Demand
Often called the Cradle of Civilization, the Middle East witnessed the rise of complex societies and urban centers. Though frequently misunderstood as monolithic in ethnicity, religion, language, and politics, the region is remarkably diverse. This course traces its history from Alexander’s conquest through the eras of Rome, Parthia, Persia, Egypt, the Caliphates, and the Ottoman Empire.
Clark Wernecke had a successful career in business before returning to school for archaeology. He retired in 2022 as Director of the Prehistory Research Project at The University of Texas at Austin and as Executive Director for the Gault School of Archaeological Research. He is currently a director of the Texas Historical Foundation and on the editorial boards of several magazines and journals covering history and archaeology.
