Introduce students to the anthropological language and its contributions to the methodological assumptions testing and interpretation of the archaeological record.
Teaching students to develop a comprehensive experimental program and its protocol, from the initial approach to final evaluation.
Professionally prepare students for work in multidisciplinary teams.
Link: https://www.usc.es/posgrao/muarqueo/pdf/1%204%20edicion_Memoria%20forma… (pp. 36-37).
Expository lessons: theoretical contents.
Interactive classes: design and protocol of ethnoarchaeology projects and projects in experimental archeology, for the preparation of an ethnoexperimental work.
The ethnoexperimental projects, made in formal groups of collaborative work of a maximum of 3 students, making clear what is the function and theme of each member. It will be agreed in tutoring to the theme and role determined within the process. The presentation of the project can be done in audiovisual or PDF. An intermediate date of delivery of the work will be established for revision, prior to the final delivery date. The work must consist of the following parts:
1. Starting point State of the issue
2. Construction of the starting hypothesis or presentation of the verifiable proposal through the ethnoexperimental. Goals.
3. Sketch of the design of the experience (selection of materials, work proposal, etc.). It is not mandatory to unroll it.
4. Indication of observation, recording and measurement systems of experience
5. Contrast or resolution
6. Applicability derived from the protocol
7. Bibliographic references
The teaching modality will be face-to-face and the Virtual Classroom will be used as a tool to support the subject, sharing useful resources for the students. Regarding the field practice, if it was not possible, that time would be invested in broading the contents of the lessons.
Whether possible, an ethno-experimental workshop will be celebrated to develop and present the academic exercises. The place is still to be decided. In case there is no specific budget, the students will take charge of the materials needed for the exercise.
Continuous assessment through:
• Tracking the student's work and active participation in seminars: 30% of the grade.
• Collaborative tasks in this subject: 70% of the grade. All members of each group will get the same grade.
Deadline: official date set by the Faculty.
Second call: completing a task (70%) with the same characteristics as in the first call and a dossier of the contents seen in the classroom (30%).
Deadline: official date set by the Faculty.
In case of official exemption, the student will take an exam (70% of the grade) and will elaborate an ethnoexperimental task that will be equivalent to the interactive classes (30% of the grade). The exam and the task requested must be agreed upon by the teaching staff at the beginning of the semester.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and review of qualifications" will apply.
Student Classroom activities:
