The lesson aims on the one hand to bring the students in direct contact with representative, in terms of date and function, monumental and material remains of Thessaloniki, dated between the 4th and the 15th century AD; on the other hand the main stress will be given to familiarizing the class with the proper use of archaeological terminology as well as of scientific principles of writing. A parallel educational objective is to help the students understand that either oral or written transmission of the archaeological information should be adapted to the needs of any given target group (schoolchildren, wide public or experts).

In the course of the lessons students are expected to make a brief but comprehensive presentation of the subjects assigned to them.
