Central Archaeological Council
The Central Archaeological Council and Museums Council ( el, Κεντρικό Αρχαιολογικό Συμβούλιο και Συμβούλιο Μουσείων), commonly known simply by its older abbreviation KAS (Κ.Α.Σ.), is the supreme advisory body for all matters pertaining to the "protection of antiquities and cultural patrimony in general" in Greece. Its present form and functions are regulated by Law 3028/2002, but its origins date back to 1834, when the Central Committee (Κεντρική Ἐπιτροπὴ) of the Greek Archaeological Service was established. This was renamed to Archaeological Committee (Ἀρχαιολογικὴ Ἐπιτροπὴ) and given broader powers in 1899, to Archaeological Council (Ἀρχαιολογικόν Συμβούλιον) in 1910, and to Central Archaeological Council (Κεντρικό Αρχαιολογικό Συμβούλιο) in 1977. Its members are selected among scientists, educators, artists, and archaeologists. It is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Foreign Archaeological Institutes In Greece
There are 19 Foreign Archaeological Institutes in Greece, also known as "schools," all based in Athens. Seventeen of them are officially accredited. In addition to conducting their share of government-authorized research projects, they issue reports and other publications, support specialised archaeological/ classical libraries, conduct regular lecture programmes, award scholarships/bursaries and provide accommodation for a fee. They do not offer degrees, nor are their courses part of any regular, gradated curriculum. The "students" are not regular students as they are known in the countries of initiation; in fact, some schools, such as the British School, now avoid the term, in favor of "member." The members, or students, are often already degreed professionals in archaeology or related fields. They take courses to prepare themselves for the research conducted by the school, which is typically archaeological. Undergraduate or graduate students present are enrolled in degree program ...
