There are no special prerequisites.
Classroom will review the social keys of the architectural structuring and the economic and political-ideological configuration of the social spaces in settlements.
Theoretical-methodological bases are aimed at the development of Social Archaeology. Special attention will be paid to the materia expression of social practices, from architectural production (land, materials, technologies and work) to
activities carried out by social groups, and its articulation in architectural units, as well as the organization of spaces in settlements (urbanism).
Some cases of non-literate societies, the subject of prehistoric archaeology studies, will be presented and analyzed to illustrate the topics discussed in different geographies and times.

-Participation in discussions, relevant issues, and design in tutorials of the content and script of the Course Work (20%)
-Assistance and commentary on camp activities (10%)
-Class presentation of the Analysis of Social Spaces in a Settlement, self-evaluated by the students (20%)
-Written presentation of the Critical Analysis of the Publication of the Studies of Social Spaces in a Settlement (50%). Reassessable.
At the time of completion/liurament of each evaluable activity, the (Virtual Campus) will be informed of the procedure and data for reviewing the qualifications.
The Non-Assessable qualification will apply as long as no more than 30% of the assessment activities have been completed.
In cases where any irregularity is carried out that could lead to a significant variation in the qualification of an assessment act, it will qualify either this assessment act, regardless of the disciplinary process that it can instruct. In cases where various irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of a subject, the final qualification of that subject will be 0.
