Moreover, since the 2004 presidential decree of the “eikositetramino […]

The owners of the foundation decided to shut down the department. All staff members (except two) were fired last week.

Anyway, about the first link I would have nothing to comment, but on the second… well, since you asked, rather questionable, indeed!…
It is quite known that the latter excavation is referred by FHW insiders as the “big hole” and for no good reasons. Ironically enough, the person responsible for the research and publication of this installation (ληνοί, πατητήρι, etc) is one of the people fired. The “big hole” is internally deemed as being responsible, in part, for the Foundation’s dire straits, but the whole story might be bigger and the hole may go deeper.
Now, there goes another intriguing feature:
Undertaking a EU-funded project, in connection e.g. with the purchase of a large German coin collection (2007). Digitization of the coin collection by a FHW-linked company and then a money prize (2010), with the participation of the said company in the evaluation (very matryoshka-doll angle!). Then, suddenly, in 2012, the numismatist working on the coin collection was asked to work one day per week… Hmm, maybe something is rotten also in a certain private Hellenic foundation…

Is this: http://excavations.ime.gr/ “questionable”?
(not to mention this: http://excavations.hellenic-cosmos.gr/ )

Archaeologists used to work for years with contracts, hoping most time in vain for better conditions of employment.
This hostage status marks now a whole generation…
Young people in the recent years face an irrational state that has no remorse to fire experienced employees. Moreover, here in Greece, where in the name of reason can archaeologists (conservators, etc) work, if not in the public sector? Make no mistake, there are very few private excavations and quite few other positions relevant!… and, as the FHW case indicates, opportunities and conditions in such private institutions can be rather questionable…
Nonetheless, the whole thing with this restriction is not only immoral and ridiculous; most probably it is also UNCONSTITUTIONAL (antisyntagmatiko) and even against European legislation. But someone has to make a case out of it and eventually prove it in a court of law. Politicians obviously won’t do it, for jurists, I can’t tell…
