(ARCH1075) -  Panagiotis Karkanas & Yiannis Papadatos

Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This course aims at the study and analysis of the geology, soils and stratigraphy of the deposits in order to extract information on the human presence, occupation and activity in an archaeological site or a wider area. It presents the main theories, ideas and research questions of concern to the discipline of geoarchaeology. It examines how geoarchaeological methods are applied to approach and answer archaeological questions, both theoretically and practically. Methods of approach are presented both at the small scale of an excavation section or archaeological site, and at the larger scale of an entire region. On a practical level, particular emphasis is placed on the science of micromorphology, and the methods by which research is carried out in the field and in the laboratory. The course includes an equal number of hours of classroom and laboratory teaching and practical training.
