AMCA MOBILE LAB

Butler University

Ancient Mediterranean
Cultures & Archaeology
The AMCA mobile lab strives to put the material of the
ancient world into the modern classroom. The lab provides
resources including reproduction artifacts, texts, and
ecofacts along with reference materials in the hands of
students in the Butler and Indianapolis community. Our goal
is to make these materials easy to check out so that students
can get hands-on experience with the ancient world.

Pottery

Pottery

Greek vases are one of the
remaining insights into
ancient culture. They depict
what was important to the
people of the time; myths,
historical events, and even
scenes from literature.
Analyzing the images on the
vases allow us a greater
insight into what was valued
in the culture at the time.
Pottery can be used to help
teach myths, to demonstrate
in a 3D setting the varying
shapes which distinguish
between an amphora and a
kylix, or even to gain an
understanding of what daily
life was like based off which
vessels were used.

Sherds

Pieces from cookware provide a tangible way for students to
conceptualize how people cooked in ancient times. Students could look
at the varying shapes, observe how lips and rims can vary based on the
vessel, and form a rough idea of what type of vessel the
sherds could have come from. The sherds in the AMCA
collection are real Roman-Israeli sherds.

Pottery Sherd FAQs
The AMCA lab features REAL Roman Sherds,
from the province of Judea
Fine Wares:

Any pottery intended to be used to serve food or drink

Coarse Wares:

Any pottery that was essential to cooking & preparing meals. These were
generally put directly in the fire or coals and often have burn marks on
them. Coarse wares possessed a wide variety of sizes and shapes.
Identifiable by their large, rough, undecorated vessels.

Semi-Coarse Wares:

More likely used for cooking, occasionally used for presentation.
Students can learn to identify what type of vessel the sherd came from.
They can look at the form (vessel shape), the fabric (what type of
material/clay), and any decorations (glazes, slips, etc.)
Students can use images and profiles of pot styles to identify what type of
sherd they are looking at. The shape and angle of the bowls, as shown
below, give insight to what type of vessel the sherd is from.

Art

Sculptures

Ancient Greek
sculpture focused on
idealism, aspiring for
ideal proportions,
poise, and the
perfection of the
human body. Ancient
Roman sculpture, on
the other hand, was
more of a mix. Like the
Greeks, Roman
sculpture focused on
idealism, but also realism as well. The sculptures focused on the
features that made an individual recognizable. Both Greek and
Roman statues had a multitude of purposes. Some were used as
expressions of power, other were for decorative purposes just like

we display sculptures today. All of
the pieces in the AMCA mobile lab
collection are reproductions,
providing a hands on approach to
art history.

Figurines

Figurines have many different
uses in ancient culture, and today
it is still hard to pinpoint exactly
what they were used for. It is
believed figurines could be
children’s toys, votives, or grave
offerings. A lot of what is known
about figurines comes from their
context, where they were found. If
a figurine was found in a
sanctuary, that made it much
more likely to be part of an
offering.

Hail Caesar! Game

The Game

Created by Warlord Games, Hail Caesar allows the user to enter
into the world of ancient battle. It encourages reliving the past and
creates a physical reenactment of
famous battles. It can help teach the
fundamentals of warfare, while
familiarizing students with different
types of soldiers and strategies.

The Setup

Warlord Games provides an instruction
book, Hail Caesar: Battles with Model
Soldiers in the Ancient Era Instruction
Book, to help with the setup,
management, and battles of the game.
It walks readers through the instructions of the game, the different
formations used by soldiers, and charge moves used by the varying
armies.

Classroom Application

Hail Caesar has many facets of classroom
use. At a base level, it can show the different
weapons, features, and clothing worn by
varying armies and those of different ranks
within the same army. The AMCA mobile lab
provides figures from the Greek, Roman, and
Celtic armies. For a more in-depth study,
these figures can be used to visualize battles
from history that have been discussed in
class. Students may have a hard time pictur-
ing the structure of Celtic chariots, these
figures would allow them to look at and feel a
scale model with their own hands.

Roman legionary banner replica

While this banner is not part of the Hail
Caesar! game, it would make a great addi-
tion to lessons about the Roman Army.

Daily Life

From bronze figurines, to oil lamps, to clay marbles, the AMCA Mo-
bile Lab features reproductions useful for education about ancient
daily life. These objects are useful for lessons about normal life in
ancient civilizations as they give insight into the resources available
and the ideas of social and political importance at the time.

Votives

Offerings made at sanctuaries were frequently miniatures of
everyday items. These votives were often representations of what
the person would be praying for. These objects could be made in
anticipation of an object/event, or to thank the gods for something
that had already occurred.

Household Objects

A lot can be discovered about an ancient civilization through
exploration of items that were used on a daily basis. The presence of

writing tools reveals a written
language. Beads can indicate access to
certain materials or that there was
trade with different civilizations.
Student can understand ancient life
and compare and contrast how it
relates to life today. A lot of what is
available to rent, we still use in some
form in modern day.

Egypt

This ancient civilization began around 3000 B.C. The Great Pyramids
were built around 2560 B.C. Alexander the Great founded the city of
Alexandria in 331 B.C. Following the death of Alexander the Great,
Ptolemy I began the Ptolemaic dynasty. Ancient Egypt was a
polytheistic culture, many deities and symbols focused around
nature. The beetle was associated with the divine manifestation of the
morning sun. Scarabs first appeared as a form of ornamentation in
the late Old Kingdom (2575-2130 B.C.) The use of papyrus in ancient
Egypt dates all the way back to 2600 B.C.

Numismatics

Coins

Coins provide rich
insights into ancient
history. They provide us
with the ability to
understand the materials
used at the time, events
that took place, and even
the culture or politics of
the period. Analyzing
coins shows us what was
important to the people
of the time, what motifs
were recurring,
prominent political
figures, amongst other things. Coins found during an archaeology
dig are one of the key factors in dating the site. Coins can give us
the ability to date archaeological findings. Think about a modern
coin, from a penny we can understand the year, the materials that
were available, and items of political importance at the time of the

coins minting and use.
