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tools that are necessary for dealing with archaeological materials as a category of historical documents.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.
Block 1.- Archaeobotany
- Nature and specificity of archaeobotanical remains
- Formation of the archaeobotanical record.
- Methods and techniques for recovering botanical remains
- The determination of archaeobotanical remains
- Seed and fruit remains: food resources and products, processing and consumption
- Anthracology and dendrology: the management of forest resources
- Palynology: the vegetal landscape
Block 2.- Archaeozoology
- Fauna analysis in the framework of archaeological research projects. Goals, trends and key concepts in
archaeozoology. Integrating archaeozoological problems to archaeological research.
- The nature of the paleofaunistic record. Micromammals, fish, molluscs and birds. Other categories of
remains: amphibians, reptiles, insects and mites
- The formation of fauna remains: archaeotaphonomy. The incorporation of animal remains to the
archaeological sites: agents and conditions. Archaeotaphonomy assessment.
- The recovery of fauna remains: units and conditions. Representativeness of faunal assemblages: the problem
of sampling.
- Anatomical and taxonomic classification of fauna remains. The reference collection. The handbooks.
Problems with the determination of morphologically close species. Biometry. DNA. Categories and
classification units used in archeozoology. Databases and recording methods.
- Determination of the structure of the slaughtered animal populations. The estimation of age: tooth wear and
epiphyseal closure assessment. X-rays. Sex determination. Morphology and osteometric criteria.
- Anthropic modifications. Traces linked to processing, distribution and consumption of animal resources.
Identification of work processes through the analysis of changes in bone surfaces. Techniques involved in the
preparation of food for consumption: identification and characterization based on the analysis of thermal
alterations. Analysis of fracture patterns and their relationship with the processing and consumption of animals
and animal products.
- The spatial analysis of fauna remains. Bone breakage, refiting and anatomical articulations.
- Quantification and statistical treatment. Sample representativity. Number of remains and minimum number of individuals. Skeletal parts frequencies. Evaluation of potentially supplied biomass.
- The interpretation: management of animal resources. Different trends in Archaeozoology.
Block 3.- Human Osteoarchaeology (Physical Anthropology)
- Bone tissues, anatomical standards, human variability and osteological determination.
- Human bones of the axial skeleton
- Human bones of the appendicular skeleton
- Principles of demographic analysis (1): age-at-death estimation.
- Principles of demographic analysis (2): sex estimation.
- Tomb excavation & record: orientation, position, sequencing and funerary taphonomy.
- Human bones in funerary practices research.

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 | CM09 |
Exams | 36% | 2 | 0.08 | CM09 |
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 course does not incorporate single assessment.
