Submerged Prehistoric Landscapes

24.08.2026 – 28.08.2026

The course is designed for Master’s students, PhD candidates, researchers, and practitioners interested in marine geosciences and archaeology. Exceptional Bachelor’s students may be accepted based on strong motivation and relevant background.

Building on the success of the University of Geneva’s Terra Submersa expedition, this summer school offers an intensive introduction to Continental Shelf Prehistoric Research (CSPR)—a multidisciplinary field at the intersection of marine science and archaeology.

Held in Porto Cheli, Greece, with field visits to the prehistoric site of Franchthi Cave, the course provides hands-on training in marine geophysical and geological methods, data acquisition and interpretation, and the study of paleoclimate and sea-level changes. Participants will explore how environmental dynamics shaped human migration and settlement on the prehistoric continental shelf, gaining a deeper understanding of coastal prehistory and past human–environment interactions.
