Visits to sites linked to the history of copper production are also included.
The course will be taught in English by Walter Fasnacht (Ayia Varvara Almyras excavation), and is open to students of all levels.
Tuition fees: 325 EUR
Free full-board accommodation included (8 nights in Ayia Varvara, from July 19 to July 27).
This summer course is organized by the University of Geneva, as part of the Yephyriaris project.
