CONSERVATION and RESTORATION of ANCIENT POTTERY & GLASS – MACEDONIA & BULGARIA Course ID: ARCH 365V June 2–July 7, 2018 DIRECTORS: Dr
National Institution Stobi Museum of Archaeology - Sozopol CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OF ANCIENT POTTERY & GLASS – MACEDONIA & BULGARIA Course ID: ARCH 365V June 2–July 7, 2018 DIRECTORS: Dr. Daniela Cherneva – Senior conservator and chief instructor, Balkan Heritage Foundation ([email protected]) Dr. Silvana Blazhevska – Archaeologist, Director of National Institution Stobi, Republic of Macedonia; PROJECT COORDINATORS: Dr. Angela Pencheva – Project coordinator (Stobi), Balkan Heritage Foundation Director Dr. Nayden Prahov – Project coordinator (Sozopol), Balkan Heritage Foundation, Archaeologist at National Archaeological institute with Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences INTRODUCTION This course is focused mainly on conservation and restoration of ancient Greek and Roman pottery and gives basic introduction to treatment, conservation and restoration of glass objects. It consists of two parts implemented in two neighboring European countries. The initial three weeks will take place at the site of Stobi, Republic of Macedonia and the final two weeks will take place at Sozopol, ancient Apollonia Pontica, Bulgaria. Stobi was an important Roman city and reached its zenith of power during the 1st – 3rd centuries CE. Apollonia was one of the richest and most prosperous Ancient Greek colonies in the Black Sea region in Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic period. The main goal for this program to provide theoretical and hands-on training experience on pottery and glass conservation. It does so through the exposure of students to two different site labs, enabling them to evaluate and appreciate similarities and differences in conservation problems, approaches, methods, technique, design and material choice applied on different types of artifacts. This field school supports the archaeological efforts in both sites and will integrate conservation efforts into the larger scheme of broad archaeological project.

In the Kingdom of Alexander the Great Ancient Macedonia
Advance press kit Exhibition From October 13, 2011 to January 16, 2012 Napoleon Hall In the Kingdom of Alexander the Great Ancient Macedonia Contents Press release page 3 Map of main sites page 9 Exhibition walk-through page 10 Images available for the press page 12 Press release In the Kingdom of Alexander the Great Exhibition Ancient Macedonia October 13, 2011–January 16, 2012 Napoleon Hall This exhibition curated by a Greek and French team of specialists brings together five hundred works tracing the history of ancient Macedonia from the fifteenth century B.C. up to the Roman Empire. Visitors are invited to explore the rich artistic heritage of northern Greece, many of whose treasures are still little known to the general public, due to the relatively recent nature of archaeological discoveries in this area. It was not until 1977, when several royal sepulchral monuments were unearthed at Vergina, among them the unopened tomb of Philip II, Alexander the Great’s father, that the full archaeological potential of this region was realized. Further excavations at this prestigious site, now identified with Aegae, the first capital of ancient Macedonia, resulted in a number of other important discoveries, including a puzzling burial site revealed in 2008, which will in all likelihood entail revisions in our knowledge of ancient history. With shrewd political skill, ancient Macedonia’s rulers, of whom Alexander the Great remains the best known, orchestrated the rise of Macedon from a small kingdom into one which came to dominate the entire Hellenic world, before defeating the Persian Empire and conquering lands as far away as India.

P.O. Box 24005, Nicosia CY-1700, Cyprus * Correspondence: [email protected] † Current address: Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, 24306 Plön, Germany. Abstract: Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are recognized as a serious and growing public health epidemic in Europe, and are a cause of major losses in livestock production worldwide. This review is an attempt to present a summary of results from studies conducted over the last century until the end of the year 2020 regarding ticks, tick-borne pathogens, and tick-borne diseases in Greece. We provide an overview of the tick species found in Greece, as well as the most important tick-borne pathogens (viruses, bacteria, protozoa) and corresponding diseases in circulation. We also consider prevalence data, as well as geographic and climatic conditions. Knowledge of past and current situations of TBDs, as well as an awareness of (risk) factors affecting future developments will help to ﬁnd approaches to integrated tick management as part of the ‘One Health Concept’; it will assist in avoiding the possibility of hotspot disease emergencies and intra- and intercontinental transmission.

The new request involves an increase in area of 178.000 hectares of UAA meeting the classification criteria laid down by Council Directive 85/148/EEC of 25 February 1985. This brings the proportion of less- favoured areas to the utilised agricultural area of the country to 80.8%. The annual impact on the budget is estimated at ECU 1.4 Million.

Map 50 Macedonia Compiled by E.N
Map 50 Macedonia Compiled by E.N. Borza, 1994 Introduction Map 50 Macedonia Map 51 Thracia The single most valuable guide to Greek and Roman settlements as far east as Philippi is Papazoglou (1988). While ostensibly a treatment of Roman towns in Macedonia, it incorporates considerable information about pre-Roman periods at many sites, and includes exhaustive and valuable notes on the ancient sources and modern scholarship. Although now largely supplanted by Papazoglou on the treatment of individual sites and the road system, Hammond (1972) presents a comprehensive overview of the historical geography and topography of Macedonia. For Chalcidice, Zahrnt’s (1971) study emphasizes pre-Roman periods. TIR Philippi, covering those parts of Thrace lying within modern Greece, is generally accurate and has comprehensive bibliographies. Isaac (1986) is a useful survey with references to the ancient sources and modern scholarship. Since the 1920s much of Thrace, especially the Chersonese, has been a military zone, with the result that archaeological survey and excavation have been severely restricted. TIR Naissus provides information about hundreds of Roman sites within the modern state of Macedonia; for areas within Greece today, however, it is less reliable. References to south Slavic scholarly investigations more recent than those listed by it can be found in MAA and ArchIug. On the Greek side, two annual publications cover continuing archaeological work in the region: the summaries of recent work cited in BCH, and the archaeologists’ own reports in AEMT. RE remains a comprehensive guide to the ancient evidence for toponyms. The ancient courses of the principal rivers flowing into the central Macedonian plain are largely conjectural because over the centuries they have frequently shifted in this highly alluviated region.

The Tomb of Olympias'
THE TOMB OF OLYMPIAS' MACEDONICAIV2 (PLATE 3) Tr HE SITE of ancient Pydna on the west coast of the Thermaic Gulf seems never to have been precisely determined, and I am not aware of ,any serious discussion of the problem of the city's location since that of Leon Heuzey written in the fifties of the last century.3 It is quite certain, however, that Pydna was the first important city of the north of the Pierian Plain, today the plain of Katerini, for otherwise the town would not have given its name to the great battle between King Perseus and the Romans in 168 B.C.4 It is equally certain that Pydna was located directly on the coast.5 It is true that Diodorus (XIII, 49, 2) states that King Archelaus in 410 B.C. moved the city twenty stadia inland from the coast, but it is abundantly clear that the coastal site had been reoccupied by the fourth century, probably during the disturbed period after the assassination of Archelaus in 399.6 Archelaus' Pydna, or New Pydna as we may call it, is verv probably to be placed at, or near, the medieval and modern 1 I am very deeply indebted to Professor Benedict Einarson of the University of Chicago for suggestions and criticism.
