Archaeology of Greece

Master's seminars

It is desirable that the participant of the seminar has a basic knowledge of the archeology of Greece

Blended learning

The seminar covers the archeology of Greece in the Bronze Age and the Dark Ages (=Early Iron Age). Its main goal is to prepare participants' master's

theses or their annual papers, and at the same time to obtain a dose of well-established knowledge, skills and qualifications.

The subject of the seminar covers the broadly understood archeology of Greece in the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age, but there are also topics that

go beyond this chronological range, although they must relate to Aegean cultures (such as religious, cultural traditions, memory, etc.). During the MA

seminar, we discuss related to the topic of the master's theses (or annual) prepared by participants: we discuss the thematic scope, instruction,

bibliography, report subsequent readings, and finally present the next parts of the works being prepared. During these presentations, we try to achieve

the required learning outcomes (see below)
