B1741 - Fieldwork and Laboratories (1) (LM)

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course students will have a thorough knowledge of the practical activities relating to the work of the archaeologist through field work experience (excavations and surveys). They will acquire knowledge related to practical activities and develop an independence of judgment when it comes to solving specific problems, or proposing specific projects or research work. Likewise, they will be able to communicate to a diverse public, as well as apply and update their skills within the three areas envisaged by the Programme: historical-artistic and epigraphic, with particular reference to methodology.
