Brief description
The South Caucasus, despite its marginal perception, is an extremely important area for human civilization. Especially in the Bronze and Iron Ages, when the "Caucasian highlanders" formed a very diverse and technically and economically advanced society. The lecture aims to introduce the audience to this society, primarily from the perspective of the people who formed it and their interrelationships, rather than the typical description of successive archaeological cultures. |

Brief description
The course is designed to help Humanities students better understand what they are really doing when using statistical methods and how they can interpret the results. Emphasis will be given to proper sample selection and evaluation and on a critical approach to statistical reasoning. The effectiveness of such an approach is the use of methods that are simple but that are fully understood by the author. The use of the popular R statistical software, which is available free of charge, will allow classes to be conducted without the need to resort to complex mathematical formulae, which are usually an insurmountable barrier for most students. It will also provide them with a good starting point for their own explorations because R statistical software facilitates making analyses with a very broad range of complexity. |

Brief description
The main topic of the course will be the techniques of construction (teichology) and defence (poliorcetics) of Roman fortifications in the 1st-3rd centuries AD built primarily for military purposes. The genesis and evolution of defensive works will be presented. The issue of source materials will also be discussed, including archaeological, written and iconographic materials, as well as the methodology of their analysis, the formulation of research conclusions and making their own interpretations. Based on the discussed examples, participants will analyse factors determining their appearance, plan or applied building materials. Another element of the considerations will be the possible non-military functions of defensive structures and the way they were perceived by the builders and potential invaders. |

Brief description
The Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf region are irresistibly associated with the cradle of Islam, endless deserts, oil production, and recently also modern cities on the Gulf, which are attractive tourist destinations. The knowledge that civilization flourished there during the Pre-Islamic era rarely reaches the public. This is also because Southern Arabia has remained on the margins of Near Eastern Archaeology for many years. For various reasons, this situation has changed recently, so the lecture aims to bring the audience with the current archaeological issues of the region during the Bronze and Iron era. |

Brief description
Roman army underwent a series of changes and reforms, often fundamental, which affected its combat effectiveness and, above all, its organisation. Thanks to it, new territories were not only conquered, but also the borders of the Empire were secured, rebellious populations were pacified and order was maintained. However, the list of tasks performed by the military included also activities such as maintaining supply lines, developing infrastructure, participating in construction projects, including civilian ones, etc. Even after the end of their service, through the granting of land in newly conquered areas, military veterans played an extremely important role in the process of Romanisation. At the same time, in terms of combat, the Roman army was certainly often inferior to other formations of the ancient world, as evidenced by its not at all rare defeats in battles or even military campaigns. What, then, stood behind its overall effectiveness that ensured immense power for Rome? |
