Aegeus, the University Library of Heidelberg, the Institute of Classical Archaeology of the University of Heidelberg and Propylaeum (Virtual Library of Classical Studies) are pleased to announce the beginning of a very important partnership. This collaboration aims to help researchers of Aegean prehistoric archaeology to search for books that are very hard to find in local libraries.
In spite of the Greek financial crisis, Aegeus resists strongly. The new academic year finds Aegeus with new projects and new collaborations with other foundations. We will inform you as soon as possible.
And as it seems, this year will be very interesting, with new books, many lectures and conferences!
Dear members and friends, Aegeus wishes you a happy summer and a prosperous fieldwork season. During the summer, our website will be updated only sporadically as most of us are participating in excavations and other research projects. Please, if you are a member of Aegeus, we would greatly appreciate if you could renew your subscription for the year 2012, as this is the only way to cover Aegeus's expenses.
Dear Members of Aegeus,
In these extremely difficult financial times, Aegeus is striving to continue its efforts to promote Aegean Prehistory; the research as well as the protection of our cultural heritage. The difficulties and problems we face make the need even stronger for a channel of communication, and for cooperation in order to jointly defend our goals. The work of Aegeus, up to date, has been made possible solely thanks to the material and moral support of its members; and it is only thanks to this support that we may continue to grow.
Dear members and friends,
Aegeus is sorry to announce the withdrawal of the conference proceedings “Archaeology and Heinrich Schliemann” from its website. Regarding this matter, we would like to inform you the following:
Aegeus would like to thank the Institute of Classical Studies (of London) for its significant donation of 300 Euros. We are also grateful to Dr Olga Krzyszkowska for donating to our Aegean Library publications of the British School at Athens.
Aegeus is proud to present his upgraded website. The improved website is not only a domain where information and news on Aegean prehistoric archaeology are presented, it is above all a place where the members and friends of Aegeus can express their opinion and exchange ideas. Moreover, it is possible for the members of Aegeus to have their own personal web-page.
The website of Aegeus is currently being upgraded. The improved website will have new sections including the Journal of Aegeus, Aegean Studies as well as an image gallery where images from old books (where copyright has expired) will be presented. It will also be possible in the new website for members to have their own personal page where they can present their research. The most important new update will be the opportunity for all of you to express your opinion on all the news and archaeological matters presented on the website.
The Greek Government has recently imposed to our Society a new tax law, the so-called ‘operation tax’. According to the law 3986/2011 (article 31) the current government calls on all non-Profit organisations to contribute to a ‘operation tax’ of 300 euros for the current economic year and raised to up to 500 euros in the next economic year.
But what is really causing a harsh impression to our Committee is the fact that all organisations and societies of different statuses and ...
Aegeus - Society of Aegean Prehistory is happy to invite you to submit papers for publication in its new journal, Aegean Studies.
Aegean Studies accepts papers which present new theoretical approaches and innovative means of data analysis with the aim of illuminating and explaining the Prehistory and Early Iron Age of the Aegean and its neighbouring areas.
Aegeus - Society of Aegean Prehistory would like to thank the J.F. Costopoulos Foundation for kindly funding the Society with 4.000 Euros. The funding will be used towards the Society’s new project, aiming to create a digital collection of about 10,000 illustrations of prehistoric material from the Aegean. The illustrations come from old publications of well known archaeologists (e.g. H. Schliemann, Chr. Tsountas, A. Evans) and have no copyright.
The organizing team of Aegeus is growing! Aegeus is proud to welcome three new fellows: Anastasia Christophilopoulou, Ioanna Moutafi and Tatiana Theodoropoulou.
Subsequently, the core group of Aegeus will consist of 10 fellows.
Aegeus is pleased and grateful for the opportunity to share creativity, fresh ideas, passion, diversity, perseverance and enthusiasm!
Due to the current economic crisis that Greek faces, it has been decided to proceed to certain changes in the annual member fees. Thus, from the 1st October onwards the fees are as follows:
Basic Aegeus membership is maintained at 40 Euros. Membership for unemployed archaeologists and students (from undergraduated to PhD candidates) is set at 25 Euros. Institution membership is reduced to 50 Euros.
The new academic year has begun with a significant donation towards Aegeus! Ingo Pini and Walter Müller have donated over 15 volumes of the Corpus der minoischen und mykenischen Siegel (CMS) to the library of Aegeus. Along with the existing volumes in the Aegean Library, Aegeus now has the complete CMS series.
Have a great Autumn!
Aegeus wishes you a happy, pleasant and archaeologically interesting summer. During the summer, our website will be updated sporadically as most of us will be taking part in excavations and other research projects.
See you in September!
