Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This course is concerned with the study and analysis of archaeological materials and is divided into two major sections. The first section is concerned with the study and analysis of archaeological objects made of metal and glassy materials, and the second is concerned with objects made of clay and stone. Both sections present the raw materials, their physico-chemical properties and their existence in the Mediterranean environment, especially in the eastern Mediterranean. The technology of making objects from these materials in the past is also examined, as well as the archaeological remains associated with the operational chain of their production. The main methods of analysis of the objects and the by-products of the processing of these archaeological materials are presented, and practical exercises are carried out using the relevant equipment in the laboratory. Particular emphasis is placed on the archaeological questions associated with the study of objects made from these archaeological materials, and the way in which analytical techniques contribute to the understanding of parameters related to the life cycle of these objects, from their manufacture and handling to their use and disposal. Both modules of the course include an equal number of hours of classroom and laboratory teaching and practical training.
