- 100712 Field methods and techniques in archaeology from historical times

 Priority will be given to students who are studying the fourth year of the Degree in Archaeology. The allocation of places will take into account, if necessary, the academic record, future employment interests and the interests of the TFG.


Objectives and Contextualisation

OBJECTIVES

This is an optional subject preferably for students who are studying the fourth year of the Degree in Archaeology. In the assignments of places will be taken into account, if necessary, the academic curriculum, future employment interests and interests of the TFG.

The Statute of University Students, approved by Royal Decree 1791/2010, of December 30, recognizes in article 8 the right of undergraduate students to "have the possibility of carrying out internships, curricular or extracurricular, which may be carried out in external entities and in the centres, structures or services of the University, according to the foreseen modality and guaranteeing that they serve the formative purpose of the same »(section f) and« have effective, academic and professional tutelage (...) in the external practices that are foreseen in the curriculum "(section g). The main objective is to allow students to apply and complement the knowledge acquired in their academic training, favouring the acquisition of skills that prepare them for the exercise of professional activities. Given the formative nature of external academic practices, its realization will not, in any case, result in obligations inherent to an employment relationship, nor will its content give rise to the substitution of the job performance inherent to jobs.

In the case of the degree of archaeology, the curricular practices are organized as an optional face-to-face subject of 6 credits that can be done in the university itself or in collaborating entities, such as institutions and public and private entities in the national and international scope chosen especially by Faculty of Arts, at the proposal of the Departments of Prehistory and Sciences and Techniques of Antiquity and the Middle Ages. These 6 credits are equivalent: to 130 hours of student work and include face-to-face hours at the company, institution or host institution; the hours allocated to the preparation of follow-up reports and the final report and the hours allocated to intermediate tutorials; 20 hours of complementary training activities in activities related to the student's training to facilitate their incorporation into working life.

The training activities can be those proposed by the Faculty itself or, in the case of any activity proposed by another instance, they must be verified and authorized by the Subject Coordinators. Otherwise, they will not be accepted as complementary training activities to the External Practice subject of the Archeology Degree.

The students must develop these external practices according to the training project detailed in the specific agreement that each student will sign with the faculty and the institution in which the practices are carried out, in which the educational objectives and activities to be developed are included, as well as the duration and the implementation regime. The student commits to join the collaborating entity on the agreed date, meet the scheduled schedules and respect the rules set by the collaborating entity, as well as to maintain with the tutor the necessary relationship to achieve the fixed objectives of the internship.

Therefore, we combine different fields of science, humanities and social sciences, but also geosciences and biosciences to apply them to the study of human and social evolution. Our goal is to promote knowledge of both the ancient human species of the past and the current human being. The curricular practices that can be developed in the centre can be linked to the different Research Units (Botanical Archaeology, Zooarchaeology, Palaeontology, Lithic Technology, Geoarchaeology), the processing of materials from archaeological excavations, to specific analysis techniques (e.g. isotopy) , 3D or restoration,) in the transfer of knowledge (e.g. processes of value creation of heritage and museography) and dissemination (actions and channels for dissemination and communication of science).

Directed activities

- Theoretical and planning sessions directed by the responsible tutor (UAB): 5 hours (General organization of the subject. Obligations and duties of students at the UAB and the collaborating entity).

- Theoretical sessions directed by the responsible tutor (entity where the practices are done): 5 hours (Introduction to the subject of the practices. Description of the tasks to be performed).

Supervised activities

- Practical activity in the institution according to the training plan specified in the individual agreement of each student: 125 hours (Development of the assigned tasks, Autonomous and follow-up activities)

- Preparation of reports (indicated below) (Developing the capacity for analysis and synthesis. Learn autonomously).

Monitoring and evaluation activities:

- Work monitoring activity supervised by tutor / UAB 5 hours. Preparation of follow-up report:

- Final synthesis work 10 hours

In the case of the degree of archaeology, curricular practices are organized as an optional face-to-face subject of 6 credits (which implies on the student's side a presence at the place of completion of the practices of approximately 125 hours).

Once the registration is made, the development of the practices will be planned under the coordination of the tutor (UAB) and the persons responsible for the entity where they perform. These begin once signed the specific agreement of practices. The tutor (UAB) will carry out the follow-up that will imply intermediate tutorial sessions and the delivery of a report. At the end of the students' practices, the UAB tutor will be given a practice report following the model

 

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.

During the internship the student will meet with the tutor assigned by the UAB to make an assessment on the development of the practices that will involve the delivery of a partial activity report. Once the internship is over, the student must prepare a final report, according to the model established by the University, in accordance with what is specified in each specific agreement. Likewise, the collaborating entity undertakes to provide the tutor (UAB) with a report stating where the internship has taken place, with express mention of the activity carried out, the duration and the performance. This report will serve for the evaluation of the student with a weight of 60%. The monitoring reports will have a total weight of 15% and the final report of 25%.

The note will consist of a:

- Not evaluable. "When the student has not achieved 10% of the hours provided in the agreement.

- "Discontinued". When the student has exceeded 10% of face-to-face, but has not completed the hours provided for in the agreement or is negatively evaluated.

- "With honors". To criterion of the coordination of the EPs in the event that in the three evaluation tests a score higher than 9.7 has been obtained and following the percentage established by the general regulations (Art. 116. 6).

 External practices cannot be retake.

 

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.

The assessment process may take into account class attendance and / or participationwith the understanding that:
										
											1. Attendance may not be compulsory in any case and, therefore, teachers may not require tasks to compensate for it (work, etc.).
