From Illyrian Pirates to Roman Legionnaires 2800-DFPIR
The aim of the seminar is to familiarize students with and expand their knowledge about the basic archaeological sites on the Balkan Peninsula and the opportunities offered to researchers by archaeological finds. Students learn to interpret stationary and movable finds in order to recreate processes that took place in the past and the function of the object in the life of ancient societies. The classes teach students how to analyze and draw conclusions based on specific databases.
Conversation classes are conducted in the form of a LECTURE, always according to the same pattern. : the issue is presented in the form of a Power Point presentation, very richly illustrated, always in the same pattern: general objective of the classes, then specific objectives. The lecture is conducted according to the detailed objectives presented. Then they are given topics for discussion or for performing short "tasks" in the case of remote work.

Assessment criteria
passing grade:
Two types of assessment to choose from:
1. COMPLETE COLLOCUIUM (anyone can join it if they so wish)
2. PARTIAL TESTS - from a smaller portion of material (after each module). In order to take part in partial tests, the attendance requirement must be met (maximum 2 absences are allowed). THE FINAL GRADE FOR THE INTERVIEW IS THE AVERAGE OF THE THREE TESTS.
A detailed explanation will be given during the first class, the so-called negotiation meeting, so it is recommended to attend it.
The dates of all tests (full, partial, re-sit) are given during the first class, in a presentation available on the Campus platform throughout the semester.
