Recommended Prerequisites

Students are recommended to have finished, with high marks, a number of course units of the 1st Cycle of Studies in Archaeology, namely the technical and methodological course units.

Teaching Methods

The proposed subjects will be discussed jointly, always building on the presentation of course contents deemed essential. In addition to the theoretical component, each session will favor interactivity, by means of i) the critical analysis of images and texts and ii) the discussion of subjects from research works carried out by students. Some Archaeology professionals may be invited to present the work they develop both in the contexts of public administration and of private activity.  The educational resources mostly include PowerPoint presentations.
