Course Overview

The 2nd cycle in Archaeology presents a curricular structure of interdisciplinary vocation built from an axis of competences within the field of knowledge of Archaeology. It is understood as a specialised training, which allows students to recognise the permanent dialogue between human occupation and the interaction with the surrounding environment. To this end, it has a wide range of contents, allowing students to become aware of the incorporation of technical and interpretative processes that decode the interaction between agents and the landscape. To achieve the proposed goals, students incorporate a set of competences based on the teaching of a structuring Archaeology matrix, with theoretical training in the classroom and fieldwork in the Archaeology Laboratory and in field classes, complemented with the training obtained in various other disciplinary areas. To achieve our goals, the curricular structure brings together teachers from various areas related to the physical and social interpretation of the environment and the landscape, giving this cycle of studies a marked originality in the national panorama.
