The course "Introduction to Archeology" should have been taken previously.
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at giving students the basic tools that are necessary in order to deal with archaeological materials as a category of historical documents.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.

The course is of a practical nature and it will be taught in the teaching laboratories of the Department of Prehistory.
Basic procedures for the analysis of archaeological remains will be learned by means of case study applications and practical exercises.
Distribution of hours per block:
- Archaeozoology: 21 hours
- Archaeobotany: 21 hours
- Human osteoarchaeology: 12 hours
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Delivery of practical exercices | 64% | 3 | 0.12 | 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 8, 7, 9, 12, 11, 13, 15, 14 |
Exams | 36% | 2 | 0.08 | 6, 12, 10, 13, 15 |
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.
To pass the course it is mandatory to pass each one of the three tematic blocks.
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%
Human osteoarchaeology: 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 or she: 1.) has not passed all three tematic blocks; 2.) has not delivered at least 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.
This subject does not incorporate single assessment.
