Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This course consists of two major units: archaeobotany and zooarchaeology. In the Archaeobotany module, students learn on a theoretical and practical level the methods of approaching plant remains, and more specifically the sampling, identification, quantitative analysis and description of archaeobotanical remains, such as seeds, wood (carbonized or not), pollen and phytoliths. Particular emphasis is also placed on how archaeobotanical remains provide information on the diet, availability and use of plant raw materials and the vegetation landscape in the past. In the second section, zooarchaeology, the focus is on the study of animal remains, mainly bones. The course includes theoretical knowledge and practical exercises in the sorting, identification, quantitative analysis and description of zooarchaeological remains. The main objective of the second module is the information that can be extracted concerning human behaviour in the past and the relationship between man and his environment. Both modules of the course include an equal number of hours of classroom and laboratory teaching and practical training.
