Please prepare your presentation on the basis of the relevant Olympia or Delphi links included in the schedule sheet. These links should be your starting point, but you may also consult your lecture notes and any reliable additional bibliography where useful. Your presentation should be concise, clear, and suitable for delivery on site: aim for roughly 4–5 minutes, focusing on the monument’s date, function, architectural or artistic features, historical significance, and its place within the sanctuary as a whole.

A few practical reminders:

• Wear comfortable walking shoes suitable for uneven archaeological terrain.

• Bring water, a hat, and sun protection; we will be outdoors for long periods.

• Please dress sensibly for variable spring weather; a light jacket is advisable in case of wind or rain.

• Have your notes available in an easy format: printed sheet, notebook, or fully charged phone/tablet.

• Do not rely on internet access on site; download or print anything essential in advance.

• Please be punctual at every departure and meeting point, as delays affect the whole group.

• As always on archaeological sites and in museums, move carefully, respect barriers and instructions, and remain attentive during your classmates’ presentations.

More detailed logistical information on departure times, meeting points, and any final adjustments will follow separately (via the Office).

Enjoy the break, and see you soon!

Best wishes,
Prof. D. Plantzos
