The course is taught by Professor Ervan Garrison from UGA, with site visits by Swiss and French historians and archaeologists. In this class, we trace the history of Switzerland and nearby France from Neolithic through Roman periods giving students not only the opportunity to learn Europe's unique past, but to touch it, taste it, smell it, wear it and live it. Your European adventure will take you to the reconstructed Neolithic village of Gletterens, where you will learn how to make fire, use arms and flint tools, cook food and make bread, as it was done 5000 years ago. You will discover unexcavated Iron Age tombs in the forest, Celtic hill forts, visit the unique site of the Petit Chasseur, and a prehistoric painted cave. You will be able to climb the Roche de Solutré, namesake of the Solutrean Period and live at The Celtic site of Bibracte, the most important ongoing excavation site in Europe.But it is not all study. You will have a weekend free in Switzerland to visit the spectacular Swiss Alps and a three day weekend to visit Paris. Your home in Switzerland is only 3.5 hours by TGV from downtown Paris. You will also be delighted by the lovely Burgundy area of France, with its ancient stone villages and vineyards. If you wish, you can now continue on with the next class: Anthropology of Religion, ANTH/RELI 4640/6640, is taught in Spain and Switzerland. You will leave by Easyjet from Geneva to Malaga, or come directly to Malaga from the USA if you are taking only this class. You will reside in the typical Spanish Hotel La Zubia in Granada Spain. You will be thrilled with the exciting program that awaits you. You will visit the prehistoric megaliths of Antequera, the largest dolmens of Southern Europe and the Late Neolithic fortication and burial ground of Los Millares. Your itinerary will continue to Almunecar, the ancient Phoenician colony and Roman settlement on the coast, leaving you the afternoon to relax on the beach.

Then you will leave by Easyjet for Switzerland, where you will live at My Lady's Manor in the lovely walled city of Estavayer-le-Lac on Lake Neuchâtel. A visit to the old town, castle and dungeon is followed by an exclusive visit to the 690 year old convent of the Dominicans and an interview with a nun cloistered there.
