Πανεπιστημιακή ανασκαφική έρευνα στην οχυρή θέση «Κάλε» Αμυνταίου 2015 / University Excavation in the Fortress “Kale” of Amyntaion in 2015 (original) (raw)
2015, Το αρχαιολογικό έργο στη Μακεδονία και τη Θράκη
The university excavation in the fortified site “Kale” (meaning fortress), in Amyntaion district, in Florina, is conducted by the Department of History and Archaeology of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Florina and funded by the municipality of Amyntaion. The triangle shaped stonemasonry wall spreads along the steep slopes of the hill adjacent to Petres Lake. Its preserved height sometimes exceeds 2 m, while the interior is divided by a transverse wall. At the top of the hill the remnants of a three aisled basilica can be dated in the 9th c. A.C. while a significant number of stone mounds, indicating ruins of domestic or other urban constructions, take over the eastern part of the walled area. The results of the survey conducted along with topography and historic geography, suggest the presence of a Mid-Byzantine settlement that flourished until the Ottoman conquest. Though its identification as the Byzantine Peterisko”, mentioned by Skylitzes and Kekaumenos, seems appealing, further studies are needed in order for this assumption to be verified.

Modern Greek studies at the University of Lund (full text in Greek)
2018
Although ancient Greek has been a major subject at the University of Lund since its foundation, the teaching of Modern Greek began in 1957, under the influence of the increasing interest in Modern Greek literature and the needs of Swedish archaeologists working in Greece. The Department of Modern Greek Studies at the University of Lund, now independent from the Department of Ancient Greek, has constituted one of the 35 Departments of the Centre for Languages and Literature since 2006 and it provides teaching, at both undergraduate and post-graduate level, research and translation of Greek authors. Even though funding from the Swedish government guarantees the existence of Modern Greek studies at the University of Lund, the support from the Greek State and Greek Institutions is considered essential for the future of Departments of Modern Greek Studies in European Universities in general.
