Learning Outcomes

Archaeogeography is an innovative subject area. It can never be mistaken for Archaeology. Archaeogeography, the subject that studies the long-term dynamics of space and contributes to study the dimensions of geohistorical objects not yet addressed by the subjects of historical geography, geohistory and archaeology of landscape and environment, is initially defined as an archaeology of knowledge, in the sense attributed by Michel Foucault to this expression.

The link to Archaeology is found in the renewal of the objects of the historical past, along with Spatial Archaeology or Network Archaeology, urban chrono-chorematics, cultural or social geoanthropology, landscape ecology and the paleo environmental sciences.

There are plans to include this subject in the studies of the dynamics of the past and to use the wisdom resulting from archaeogeographic analyses as an instrument for territorial planning.
