It is not a prerequisite, but knowledge of the geography of Catalonia will be useful.
The study, review of the evidence of the prehistoric settlement in the current territory of Catalonia and the closest regions, in order to know the cultural, socioeconomic evolution from the first settlement to the formation of the Iberian societies.
Emphasis is placed on the theoretical contributions update, the latest developments in research, and the status of the issue and historical interpretation within the active dynamics of current research.
The global nature of the territory is reviewed, exposing the most relevant scenarios of prehistoric archaeology in the wide geographical areas of the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula. In this sense, research projects under development give the key issues of human development (social dynamics of hunter-gatherer societies, the emergence of the first farming societies, first state formation).
It will also address issues of historical-archaeological and heritage to the general public of the Catalan archaeological record. It is intended that students know which are the main questions that Catalan prehistoric archaeology has at this time, and what are the most significant discoveries and historical-archaeological findings that define each debate.

The guided activities (theoretical classes, virtual sessions and laboratory practices) represent 70% of the mark.
They will be evaluated by written tests.
Supervised activities (field trips, attendance at conferences and tutoring) with a 20%. They will be evaluated through presentations and discussions of texts in the classroom, 20%.
The autonomous activities will represent 10%. They will be evaluated through the module of delivery of works, 20%.
Attendance: non-compulsory
At the time of completion/delivery of each assessment activity, the teacher will inform (Moodle, SIA) of the procedure and date of revision of the grades.
System of evaluation and qualification.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
Criteria for passing the subject
Have obtained a mark of 5 or more in each prove. In the case of not having passed the first evaluation, the student may again perform the evaluation of the theoretical knowledge (50% in the final grade). The other 50% of the mark (supervised and autonomous activities) the note obtained in the continuous evaluation will be maintained.
The student will be classified as Non-evaluable when he has not delivered more than 30% of the evaluation activities.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, thestudent will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
