Know how to find relevant information for interpreting ancient documents and relating them to the main problems and themes of epigraphy and /or papyrology (or other specific disciplines).
2.2 SOURCE RETRIEVAL - METADATA CATALOGUING PRACTICES:
-
Can read a lemma and understand catalogue information about origin, provenance, editions, analysis of material support, present location of documents.

-
Know and are able to apply linguistic, paleographical and editorial skills to date, decipher transcribe and edit a document.
-
Can apply source critique to a group of sources according to the concept of ancient archive, dossier and can locate meaningful parallels for interpreting different problems.
-
Can analyse different aspects of an original inscription or papyrus and identify the relevance of the document for specific research questions.
2.4 CONTEXTUALIZATION OF SOURCE PRODUCTION AND TRANSMISSION – PRESERVATION HISTORY / HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
-
Can understand and identify the different contexts (institutional, archaeological, museological etc.) that may have determined the formation and preservation of the ancient documents.
-
Can handle metadata with relevant information about the history of the document including context of production and history of finding and preservation;.
-
Can organise data about the different contexts (institutional, archaeological, museological etc.) which have determined the formation and preservation of the Greek and Roman inscriptions and papyri (and /or other kinds of ancient documents) and use them towards a research project.
DIMENSION 4: INTERDISCIPLINARITY

-
Can approach problems from different points of view.
-
Are aware of methods of different areas of research with ancient documents and of critical and methodological skills involved (philology, linguistics, history, archaeology).
-
Can utilise the information obtained using different method(s) from related sciences and present a coherent and relevant analysis to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
-
Participate effectively in an interdisciplinary group helping to coordinate and deploy knowledge and insights from different fields.
