		<description><![CDATA[Something is rotten in the State of Greece. This time the stench comes from the Foundation of the Hellenic World, which used to promote research on Greek civilisation outside the strict borders of the modern Greek state. This private Foundation (though heavily subsidised by the government) reached its peak a decade ago, when I received my postdoctoral fellowship from them. They funded my research on the Economy of Roman Asia Minor under the guidance of Prof. Stephen Mitchell at the University of Exeter. Today the tables have turned. I have just found out from a reliable source that they have already fired two archaeologists/ historians, a philologist and a sociologist, while they reduced a numismatist&#8217;s post to one day per week. And bad news keep coming. The administration decided to cut 18 % of the staff&#8217;s salaries. Salaries that have not been paid for the past two months anyway. Of course, more redundancies will soon follow. How many researchers will be jobless by the end of 2012 is only a matter of conjecture. It all depends on the finances of the foundation, the financial state of Greece (which we all know is not rosy), the TROIKA. By now we are well aware that historians and archaeologists are not highly valued in Europe, where economics has become the new religion. And I am wondering, has any of the powerful European politicians considered how the world would look like without historical knowledge?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The debt crisis is wreaking havoc in the Archaeological Service in Greece, According to reports, a large number of senior archaeologists will be forced to retire this year. The consequences will be dire for many ongoing projects. On the whole 95 archaeologists are being removed, thus reducing the total number to 890. This action happened on top of the cancellation of all six-month contracts of junior archaeologists. Among them is Lilian Acheilara, the director of the Sixteenth Ephorate of Classical and Prehistoric Archaeology in Thessalonica, who was responsible for the Ancient Macedonia exhibition in the Louvre. Another one is Antonis Vasilakakis, the manager of excavations Cephalonia. After he is removed the entire island will be left with one archaeologist. We should not forget the example of Aris Tsaravopoulos, the only archaeologist of Cythera. The inhabitants of the island have already complained about his removal. In this case, he was receiving only a salary of 1500 euros a month. He was covering his own travel expenses, while the local society was covering the expenses for his excavation. As for the museum at Cythera, it remains closed since the 2006 earthquake. Despite the fact that there is need for more staff in the Archaeological Service, the government intends to reduce further the number of active archaeologists by 30 per cent.]]></description>
