Concurrently, an examination of the physiological impacts of the underwater milieu on the human organism is conducted alongside an elucidation of the fundamental principles and constraints that govern undertakings conducted on the seabed.\nThe course further delves into the methodological frameworks, procedural protocols, as well as the essential equipment and instruments employed in underwater archaeological endeavors, whether they entail reconnaissance surveys or excavation activities. Moreover, the instructional content extends to strategies for extracting maritime archaeological data from excavation contexts, textual sources, and visual imagery, all contextualized within the broader framework of ancient shipbuilding techniques, the historical evolution of maritime construction methods, and navigation practices.\nSpecial emphasis is placed on the identification and analysis of transport amphorae, pivotal artifacts serving as primary indicators of maritime commerce in the ancient and medieval Mediterranean. Through case studies, prominent sites featuring ancient shipwrecks, submerged settlements, and port installations within the Mediterranean region are scrutinized in detail.\nLastly, the course encompasses theoretical discussions pertaining to Greek and international legislation concerning the safeguarding of maritime cultural heritage, underscoring the imperative of legal frameworks for the protection and preservation of invaluable archaeological resources submerged beneath the world's seas and oceans.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> 15% Active participation in the seminar , 15% The oral presentations of the essays , 70% The final deliverable essay.

Their main goal is the reconstruction of the landscape history of the respective regions on a diachronic basis, mainly through the examination of surface material remains. The seminar course examines the methods, techniques, and theoretical approaches related to systematic surface archaeological field surveys in Greece and the broader Mediterranean region. Landscape projects, recording techniques and methods, as well as examples of interpreting past landscapes, are presented through examples from various periods of prehistory and Greco-Roman antiquity.\nSpecifically, in this seminar, we will follow the entire process, from the initial selection of areas and research design, to the methods applied in the field, the processing of materials, and the interpretation of data, through specific examples. In the end, we will attempt to compare the archaeological histories of different regions as revealed by their surface surveys and to assess the overall advantages and limitations of surface research. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are important tools for mapping, processing, and visualizing spatial data, and within the framework of the seminar, participants will have the opportunity to become acquainted with one of the recent ESRI software packages. We will also examine various subsurface detection techniques using geophysical methods, which are often necessary for verifying and complementing the data from surface surveys.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> 10% Participation to the Seminar, 30% Oral presentation, 60% Final written essay <\/p> \n <p><strong>Indicative Bibliography:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul class=\"bibliography\">\n <li>Alcock, S. 1993.

The shaping of its relationship with the methods and the theoretical framework of Ethnography \/ Social Anthropology, Archeology is described. It is explained how the disciplinary toolkit of History, becoming an integral part of this inter-disciplinary field, contributes in avoiding the pitfalls of circularity and anachronism. \nCertain examples from Greece, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, South America, and the Pacific are employed to substantiate each topic touched upon in the lectures and practicals. The case-studies construct a narrative through qualitative data, applying methods of archeology (material remnants, landscape palimpsest), historiographical research (epigraphic and archival sources, legal documents etc.) and social anthropology (ethnographic fieldwork involving participant observation, structured interviews and focus group discussions to record oral testimony). \nAs categorical example, we examine comparatively the way in which people organise their societies, moving in space and shaping it by built structures (residential and\/or productive clusters) and material symbols (works of art - landmarks). Conversely, we look into the ways in which physical elements affect social organisation, via production-practices and ideology systems (such as land-use\/ownership, mental maps and reciprocity). By overviewing how societies perceive this relationship, we examine how the findings of such a comparative approach could be employed to interpret the material remains of ancient societies (artefacts: implements, utensils, artworks and built structures, and of course landscape organisation) and to link them to the corresponding social structures. \nThe problems of such a methodology are highlighted and ways to resolving them are suggested. On the other hand, it is described how Ethnoarchaeology\u2019s comparative and diachronic perspective allows for developing a critique of stereotypical interpretations of the past.\n <\/p>\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> 15% Evaluation results from the creative participation in the critical discussion during the lectures, 20% in the training in the field and in the laboratory , 55% final essay, and 10% its oral presentation.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Indicative Bibliography:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul class=\"bibliography\">\n <li>Arthur, J.

Their main goal is the reconstruction of the landscape history of the respective regions on a diachronic basis, mainly through the examination of surface material remains. The seminar course examines the methods, techniques, and theoretical approaches related to systematic surface archaeological field surveys in Greece and the broader Mediterranean region. Landscape projects, recording techniques and methods, as well as examples of interpreting past landscapes, are presented through examples from various periods of prehistory and Greco-Roman antiquity.\nSpecifically, in this seminar, we will follow the entire process, from the initial selection of areas and research design, to the methods applied in the field, the processing of materials, and the interpretation of data, through specific examples. In the end, we will attempt to compare the archaeological histories of different regions as revealed by their surface surveys and to assess the overall advantages and limitations of surface research. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are important tools for mapping, processing, and visualizing spatial data, and within the framework of the seminar, participants will have the opportunity to become acquainted with one of the recent ESRI software packages. We will also examine various subsurface detection techniques using geophysical methods, which are often necessary for verifying and complementing the data from surface surveys.<\/p>\n \n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> 10% Participation to the Seminar, 30% Oral presentation, 60% Final written essay.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Indicative Bibliography:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul class=\"bibliography\">\n <li>Alcock, S. 1993.

Archaeometric analysis of artifacts (pottery, ceramic objects, tools, and ornaments) also sheds light on human-environment relationships through investigations into the origins of raw materials (clay, stone, metal, bone). In addition to the contribution these studies offer to identifying cultural connections, chrono-typological classifications and the interpretation of similarities or differences in the distribution of artifacts in space and time shed light on social and economic organization, trade relations, production and circulation of goods, exchanges and cultural interrelations, as well as ideologies and symbolic expressions. <\/p>\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> 10% Participation on lectures, 40% Oral presentation, 40% Final essay writing, 10% Discussion on the essay.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Indicative Bibliography:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul class=\"bibliography\">\n <li>Renfrew,\u00a0C. and\u00a0Paul Bahn,\u00a02012,\u00a0Archaeology: Theories, Methods, and Practice, London.\u00a0\n<li>Skibo, James M.\u00a0and\u00a0Michael Brian Schiffer. 2008.\u00a0People and Things: A\u00a0Behavioral\u00a0Approach to Material Culture.\n<li>Schiffer, M.

Under the auspices of the University of Thessaly, students are immersed in this archaeological endeavor, which entails not only the investigation of the designated wreck but also supplementary documentation extended to approximately ten additional wrecks within the vicinity. Furthermore, reconnaissance fieldwork is conducted in archaeologically uncharted waters.\n\nThe evaluation of students' knowledge levels and diving proficiencies, a critical aspect overseen by the research director, is conducted through 2 to 3 adaptation dives. Based on their accrued experience, participants are then integrated into diving operations and regional activities integral to the archaeological mission.\n\nThe instructional content is multifaceted, commencing with an overview of staff planning and logistical considerations pertinent to underwater archaeological research, emphasizing adaptability to the idiosyncrasies of natural environments and adherence to diving safety protocols. Subsequently, students are acquainted with the operational fundamentals and utilization of various mechanical equipment, encompassing low and high-pressure air compressors, generators, support vessels, decompression chambers, pumps, and air-lifts, inclusive of transport, assembly, and installation procedures.\n\nPractical exercises in underwater reconnaissance survey methodologies follow suit, entailing primary site documentation encompassing photographic records, measurements, descriptive assessments of site morphology, and sampling procedures. Within the excavation domain, students are instructed in the design and execution of excavation grid, adept employment of air-lifts and auxiliary excavation tools, techniques for artifact retrieval from the seabed, and utilization of robotic and remotely-operated optical scanning apparatuses (AUVs, ROVs).\n\nA concluding segment of the course emphasizes the implementation of initial rescue measures subsequent to artifact recovery, foundational principles governing the preservation of underwater artifacts spanning diverse material compositions (e.g., stone, metal, clay, organic matter), and protocols for meticulous documentation within excavation diaries and databases.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> in the final evaluation, the following criteria are taken into account with the following percentages:\nActive participation, interest and effectiveness in all field work at sea and research support actions on land (50%)\nThe responsibility in completing the tasks that will be assigned to the students \u2013 three (20%)\n\nFormality and consistency in regulations and working hours (20%)\nCommunication and direct collaboration with the other members of the archaeological mission (10%)\n <p><strong>Indicative Bibliography:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul class=\"bibliography\">\n\t<li>Basch, L., Le muse imaginaire de la marine antique, Ath\u00e8nes 1987.\n\t<li>Bass, G., A History of Seafaring based on Underwater Archaeology, Thames & Hudson.

Concurrently, an examination of the physiological impacts of the underwater milieu on the human organism is conducted alongside an elucidation of the fundamental principles and constraints that govern undertakings conducted on the seabed.\nThe course further delves into the methodological frameworks, procedural protocols, as well as the essential equipment and instruments employed in underwater archaeological endeavors, whether they entail reconnaissance surveys or excavation activities. Moreover, the instructional content extends to strategies for extracting maritime archaeological data from excavation contexts, textual sources, and visual imagery, all contextualized within the broader framework of ancient shipbuilding techniques, the historical evolution of maritime construction methods, and navigation practices.\nSpecial emphasis is placed on the identification and analysis of transport amphorae, pivotal artifacts serving as primary indicators of maritime commerce in the ancient and medieval Mediterranean. Through case studies, prominent sites featuring ancient shipwrecks, submerged settlements, and port installations within the Mediterranean region are scrutinized in detail.\nLastly, the course encompasses theoretical discussions pertaining to Greek and international legislation concerning the safeguarding of maritime cultural heritage, underscoring the imperative of legal frameworks for the protection and preservation of invaluable archaeological resources submerged beneath the world's seas and oceans.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> 15% Active participation in the seminar , 15% The oral presentations of the essays , 70% The final deliverable essay.

The shaping of its relationship with the methods and the theoretical framework of Ethnography \/ Social Anthropology, Archeology is described. It is explained how the disciplinary toolkit of History, becoming an integral part of this inter-disciplinary field, contributes in avoiding the pitfalls of circularity and anachronism. \nCertain examples from Greece, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, South America, and the Pacific are employed to substantiate each topic touched upon in the lectures and practicals. The case-studies construct a narrative through qualitative data, applying methods of archeology (material remnants, landscape palimpsest), historiographical research (epigraphic and archival sources, legal documents etc.) and social anthropology (ethnographic fieldwork involving participant observation, structured interviews and focus group discussions to record oral testimony). \nAs categorical example, we examine comparatively the way in which people organise their societies, moving in space and shaping it by built structures (residential and\/or productive clusters) and material symbols (works of art - landmarks). Conversely, we look into the ways in which physical elements affect social organisation, via production-practices and ideology systems (such as land-use\/ownership, mental maps and reciprocity). By overviewing how societies perceive this relationship, we examine how the findings of such a comparative approach could be employed to interpret the material remains of ancient societies (artefacts: implements, utensils, artworks and built structures, and of course landscape organisation) and to link them to the corresponding social structures. \nThe problems of such a methodology are highlighted and ways to resolving them are suggested. On the other hand, it is described how Ethnoarchaeology\u2019s comparative and diachronic perspective allows for developing a critique of stereotypical interpretations of the past.\n <\/p>\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> 15% Evaluation results from the creative participation in the critical discussion during the lectures, 20% in the training in the field and in the laboratory , 55% final essay, and 10% its oral presentation.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Indicative Bibliography:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul class=\"bibliography\">\n <li>Arthur, J.

Archaeometric analysis of artifacts (pottery, ceramic objects, tools, and ornaments) also sheds light on human-environment relationships through investigations into the origins of raw materials (clay, stone, metal, bone). In addition to the contribution these studies offer to identifying cultural connections, chrono-typological classifications and the interpretation of similarities or differences in the distribution of artifacts in space and time shed light on social and economic organization, trade relations, production and circulation of goods, exchanges and cultural interrelations, as well as ideologies and symbolic expressions. <\/p>\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> 10% Participation on lectures, 40% Oral presentation, 40% Final essay writing, 10% Discussion on the essay.<\/p>\n <p><strong>Indicative Bibliography:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul class=\"bibliography\">\n <li>Renfrew,\u00a0C. and\u00a0Paul Bahn,\u00a02012,\u00a0Archaeology: Theories, Methods, and Practice, London.\u00a0\n<li>Skibo, James M.\u00a0and\u00a0Michael Brian Schiffer. 2008.\u00a0People and Things: A\u00a0Behavioral\u00a0Approach to Material Culture.\n<li>Schiffer, M.

Under the auspices of the University of Thessaly, students are immersed in this archaeological endeavor, which entails not only the investigation of the designated wreck but also supplementary documentation extended to approximately ten additional wrecks within the vicinity. Furthermore, reconnaissance fieldwork is conducted in archaeologically uncharted waters.\n\nThe evaluation of students' knowledge levels and diving proficiencies, a critical aspect overseen by the research director, is conducted through 2 to 3 adaptation dives. Based on their accrued experience, participants are then integrated into diving operations and regional activities integral to the archaeological mission.\n\nThe instructional content is multifaceted, commencing with an overview of staff planning and logistical considerations pertinent to underwater archaeological research, emphasizing adaptability to the idiosyncrasies of natural environments and adherence to diving safety protocols. Subsequently, students are acquainted with the operational fundamentals and utilization of various mechanical equipment, encompassing low and high-pressure air compressors, generators, support vessels, decompression chambers, pumps, and air-lifts, inclusive of transport, assembly, and installation procedures.\n\nPractical exercises in underwater reconnaissance survey methodologies follow suit, entailing primary site documentation encompassing photographic records, measurements, descriptive assessments of site morphology, and sampling procedures. Within the excavation domain, students are instructed in the design and execution of excavation grid, adept employment of air-lifts and auxiliary excavation tools, techniques for artifact retrieval from the seabed, and utilization of robotic and remotely-operated optical scanning apparatuses (AUVs, ROVs).\n\nA concluding segment of the course emphasizes the implementation of initial rescue measures subsequent to artifact recovery, foundational principles governing the preservation of underwater artifacts spanning diverse material compositions (e.g., stone, metal, clay, organic matter), and protocols for meticulous documentation within excavation diaries and databases.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> in the final evaluation, the following criteria are taken into account with the following percentages:\nActive participation, interest and effectiveness in all field work at sea and research support actions on land (50%)\nThe responsibility in completing the tasks that will be assigned to the students \u2013 three (20%)\n\nFormality and consistency in regulations and working hours (20%)\nCommunication and direct collaboration with the other members of the archaeological mission (10%)\n <p><strong>Indicative Bibliography:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul class=\"bibliography\">\n\t<li>Basch, L., Le muse imaginaire de la marine antique, Ath\u00e8nes 1987.\n\t<li>Bass, G., A History of Seafaring based on Underwater Archaeology, Thames & Hudson.

Among the two general categories of archaeological assemblages, which are manufactured artefacts and objects from natural materials, the present course focuses on the first category, including architectural structures\/features and implements, all considered as the core of material culture. The archaeometrical methods explained are treated as integral components of an interdisciplinary study approach in archaeology, aiming to develop an understanding of the past, by shedding light on technological development and crafts practices actively embedded in past societies. \nRaw materials, stone implements and tools, pottery, metallic artefacts, utensils and ornaments, building materials and substances are made available to the up-to-date archaeometrical toolkit in order to meaningfully link practices and processes of procurement, production, function and use, within entangled sociocultural operational sequences (Cha\u00eenes Op\u00e9ratoires). The approach adopted in this course structures an understanding of technology, knowledge transmission and artefact post-production \u201cbiography\u201d, integrated within material culture, as social practices weaved together with materially and ritually implemented cooperation and control.\nIntensive practicals in the field are entailed to substantiate and materialise the theoretical and methodological background provided. Students are trained in using highly specialised equipment both during retrieval and recording of artefact materials and in applying the first stage study methods in the field laboratory. <\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Assessment:<\/strong> The evaluation results from the creative participation in the critical discussion during the lectures (15%) and in the training in the field and in the laboratory (20%), the final essay (55%), and its oral presentation (10%).<\/p>\n <p><strong>Indicative Bibliography:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bibliography\">\n <p><strong>Archaeological Materials in general<\/strong><\/p>\n <li>Artioli, G., 2010, Scientific Methods and Cultural Heritage, Oxford University Press, Oxford.<\/li>\n <li>Price, T.D., Burton, J.H., 2012, An Introduction to Archaeological Chemistry, Springer, New York.<\/li>\n <li>Richards, M.P., Britton, K., 2020, Archaeological Science \u2013 An Introduction, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.<\/li><br>\n\n <p><strong>Cha\u00eene Op\u00e9ratoire<\/strong><\/p>\n <li>Leroi-Gourhan, Andr\u00e9, 1964, Le Geste et la parole. 1.
