Teaching Methods
Classes will be theoretical and practical using the images, reading and interpretation of texts. The
practical component will be based on direct work with archaeological materials and structural
analysis.
The evaluation can be performed in the system of continuous assessment and examination
system. The continuous evaluation will be a job application of concepts and the presentation and
discussion of that work and a frequency.
A. frequency Regime
1. Realization of a practical set between the student and the teacher and involving the application
of concepts, sources and methods of discipline. (40%)
1.1. Presentation and discussion of the work presented (10%).
2. Written evaluation (50%)
B. Exams Policy
Written exam about the lectured subjects
