Objectives
THE COURSE INTENDS TO PROVIDE A SPECIALIZED THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL PREPARATION OF RESEARCH METHODS AND STRATEGIES IN THE FIELD OF LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY, ANCIENT TOPOGRAPHY AND THE MAIN METHODOLOGIES OF HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH.
Prerequisites
NOT REQUIRED.
Contents
THE COURSE IS ORGANIZED IN TWO MODULES.
I MODULE
INSIGHT WILL BE PROVIDED ON THE HISTORY OF THE DISCIPLINE, ON METHODS AND STRATEGIES OF APPROACH AND STUDY OF LANDSCAPES AND SYSTEMS OF ORGANISATION, POPULATION AND EXPLOITATION OF TERRITORIAL RESOURCES: FROM THE EXAMINATION OF ANCIENT SOURCES TO THE TREATMENT OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD THROUGH GIS APPLICATIONS, TO SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CLASSIFICATION AND QUANTIFICATION OF MOBILE FINDS. THE ISSUES WILL BE EXPLORED THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF SPECIFIC MULTI-STRATIFIED REGIONAL CONTEXTS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN AND THE STRATEGIES OF COMMUNICATION AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING (PUBLIC ARCHAEOLOGY).
KNOWLEDGE WILL BE PROVIDED ON:
- ANCIENT SETTLEMENTS TYPOLOGY: SCATTERED RURAL SETTLEMENT (FARMS, VILLAE), AND NUCLEATED (KOMAI, VICI, PAGI, FORA). URBAN SETTLEMENT (PROTOURBAN, PSEUDOURBAN): URBAN TYPOLOGIES RELATED TO THE GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT AND TO THE BUILDINGS ORGANISATION.
TYPOLOGIES OF THE TERRITORIAL PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES: AGRARIAN AND NOT AGRARIAN. AGRARIAN: LAND RECLAMATIONS, IRRIGATION, LAND DIVISIONS. NOT AGRARIAN: KILNS, QUARRIES, SALT PRODUCTIONS.
- PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MONUMENTS TYPOLOGIES. PUBLIC: CULTUAL BUILDINGS (RURAL SANTUARIES AND FRONTIER SANCTUARIES); STORAGE BUILDINGS AND ADDUCTION WORKS (GRANARIES, WATER RESERVOIRS, AQUEDUCTS, DIKES). PRIVATE: GRAVES.
- TYPOLOGIES OF THE MOBILE ARTIFACTS MOST FREQUENTLY FOUND IN THE RURAL SETTLEMENTS AND PRODUCTIVE SITES.
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE TAKES PLACE IN THE FIRST SEMESTER AND CONSISTS OF 60 HOURS OF LECTURES. IT IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MODULES, BOTH OF 30 HOURS. THE FIRST MODULE CONSISTS OF 25 HOURS OF LESSONS AND 5 HOURS OF SEMINARS.
THE TEACHING TOOLS SUPPORT ARE POWER POINT PROJECTIONS, VISITS AND WORKSHOPS.
Verification of learning
ORAL EXAMINATION. THE GRADE IS GIVEN IN THIRTIETHS: THE HIGHEST GRADE (30 CUM LAUDE) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONTENTS, THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL SKILLS, AND CRITICAL ABILITY TO ESTABLISH LOGICAL AND CHRONOLOGICAL LINKS BETWEEN THE TOPICS DISCUSSED.
