This course covers the first Period of the Church History, beginning from the Pentecost until the end of the iconoclastic controversies (9th century). It presents the foundation of the Church, the distribution of the Evangelic call and the use of the vital methodological criterion of the canonical conscience of people in charge of the confrontation periods of ecclesiastical crisis. It also examines the Constitution of the Ancient Church and the various attempts of altering the apostolic preaching and splitting unity. The seven Ecumenical Councils possess a sovereign place, through which the dogmatic truths were formulated and answers were given by the direct report of the life and the organization of the ecclesiastical body. The individual subjects cover a wide variety of questions con- nected to the total dialogue developed within the course framework. The course is of fundamental and preparatory character. It contributes to the comprehension of people’s ecclesiastical practice during the first centuries and to the Christian way of living in both theory and practice. Furthermore, it concentrates on the use of basic theological terms and significances within the historical framework and it is supplemented by subsidiary material (notes, texts, etc) and the use of audiovisual means.

The subject of this course is on the one hand the presentation of the main concepts and methods that constitute the research field of ‘landscape archaeology’ and, on the other hand, the contribution of this field to the understanding of Aegean Prehistory. The course is divided into three cycles. The first cylce focuses on the definition of the concept of landscape and to the various theoretical and methodological approaches: traditional iconography, processual surface survey, post-processual and cognitive interpretative methods, Georgaphical Information Systems and landscape modelling. The second cycle focuses on indicative Prehistoric case studies: Palaeolithic and Mesolithic cave use, Neolithic tell and extended settlements, Early Cycladic networks of maritime interation, Bronze Age funerary monuments in the Peloponnese and Crete, Minoan peak sanctuaries, Late Bronze Age frescoes in the Aegean. The third cycle examines landscape as a cultural heritage resource and outlines the institutional framework and related practices for its protection.
