Professor Liritzis was the co-supervisor external (as Alma Mater), and the local supervisor was the world-known prehistoric archaeology Prof Wang Wei (Henan University and Chinese Academy of Social Sciences). A committee of five (internal and external) members examined the thesis, the 2^nd stage of PhD submission.

Alex Westra has passed and will work as a postdoc at Henan Univ. Alex is a new International Consortium of Advanced Digital Archaeological-Historical Network member at Alma Mater Europaea University. His PhD thesis is Critical Comparative Study in Archaeology: A Case Study of the Shang Dynasty and Mycenaean Civilization (1300-1050 BC).

Some papers on comparative archaeology have already been co-published with Professor Liritzis and Dr Westra, and it is envisaged that dynamic progress on the subject will emerge in collaboration between Alma Mater and Henan University with student involvement.
