The Archaeology of the Mediterranean World: More Springtime for Byzantium

A couple of weeks ago I noted the recent flurry of books well-suited for teaching Byzantine History. It was quite a surprise when one of the first "podcast celebrities" turned out to be a high school teaching lecturing on Byzantium. Lars Brownworth's has produced a series of podcasts focused on the Byzantine Emperors which he used to structure his history of Byzantium (a la Psellos). Brownworth is now working on a book for Crown Publishing that will cover the all of Byzantine History.

I've begun to collect syllabi on Byzantine Studies available on the internet (using Zotero, of course!). The list is pretty undisciplined (I included some Late Antiquity syllabi, but did not explicitly search for them) and was created using CHNM Syllabi Finder and Google. Additional syllabi are likely "hidden" behind webct passwords (like R. Scott Moore's). Some you'll note derive from archives and I can imagine that any of these URLs are particularly stable.
