Prerequisites
The course "Introduction to Archeology" should have been taken previously.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The course is part of the subject area "Field and Laboratory Methods and Techniques" of the degree in Archaeology. There are 36 ECTS of compulsory courses related to this subject area (Methods and field techniques in prehistoric archaeology, Methods and techniques in historical archaeology, Analysis of artifacts, Analysis and study of archaeological materials, Bioarchaeology and Quantitative Archaeology) aiming at providing basic knowledge on methodology and field and laboratory techniques in archaeology.
The Bioarchaeology course emphasizes those methods and techniques associated with archaeozoological, archaeobotanical and ancient human remains. The methods for describing and analysing the variability of the data are presented, introducing aspects such as the testing of statistical hypotheses or the analysis of qualitative and quantitative relationships. The contents of this subject are aimed at giving students the basic tools that are necessary in order to deal with archaeological materials as a category of historical documents.
The course relies in practical training and is designed to provide a problem-oriented approach with the help of practical sessions in the teaching lab.
Competences
- Carrying out and managing archaeology fieldwork: excavation and survey.
- Generating innovative and competitive proposals in research and professional activity.
- Managing the main methods, techniques and analytic tools in archaeology.
- Respecting the diversity and plurality of ideas, people and situations.
- Students must be capable of applying their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and they should have building arguments and problem resolution skills within their area of study.
- Students must be capable of communicating information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
- Students must develop the necessary learning skills to undertake further training with a high degree of autonomy.
Learning Outcomes
- Applying both knowledge and analytical skills to the resolution of problems related to their area of study.
- Applying implementing protocols of fieldwork and sample collection.
- Applying proper techniques and analytical tools in case studies.
- Combining technical resources from similar disciplines.
- Establishing investigation protocols for original research projects.
- Interpreting the archaeological fieldwork results by placing them into their historical context.
- Mastering specific techniques and instrumental resources of archaeological laboratory analysis.
- Organizing their own time and work resources: designing plans with priorities of objectives, calendars and action commitments.
- Recognising and implementing the following teamwork skills: commitment to teamwork, habit of cooperation, ability to participate in the problem solving processes.
- Recognising the importance of controlling the quality of the work's results and its presentation.
- Submitting works in accordance with both individual and small group demands and personal styles.
- Transmitting the results of archaeological research and clearly communicating conclusions in oral and written form to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
- Using computing tools, both basics (word processor or databases, for example) and specialised software needed in the professional practice of archaeology.
- Using the specific interpretational and technical vocabulary of the discipline.

Assessment
Attendance to practical classes is compulsory; exercises and practical work will be required for each one of the three blocks.
Written tests will also be required for some of the contents of the course.
Weighting evaluation activities:
Archaeobotany: delivery of practical exercises 24% (4 deliveries, each represents 6%), final written test 16%
Archaeozoology: delivery of practical exercises 20%, final written test 20%
Anthropology: delivery of practical exercise 20%
Re-evaluation:
A second evaluation is foreseen for those students not having passed the first one if the following requirements are met:
- All tests for each one of the three blocks must have been taken.
- All practical sessions must have been attended.
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.
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, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
