The environment as a dynamic system.
The reconstruction of the past: geoarchaeology and preterit landscapes. The formation of the archaeological sites.

Skills and learning outcomes
Understanding the relevance of the environment in the evolution of human societies.
Become familiar with environmental and archaeological disciplines that affect the reconstruction of a palaeoecological approach to human societies.
To value the importance of interdisciplinarity when dealing with the integral study of the human past.
Lectures:
They will have the classic format of exposition of contents. Students will prepare personal notes from taking notes in the classroom, compulsorily supplemented with at least one reading for each of the topics, from the complementary bibliography offered in the classroom, or with a free choice always attending to scientific criteria.
Interactive classes:
In order to think meteorologically about the syntheses worked in the expository classes, it is intended to have a practical impact on the procedures that lead to such syntheses. The procedure will consist of an individual practical work based on material evidence delivered at the beginning of the interactive classes, referring to the Iberian Peninsula, which will serve as a common thread for the constructive process of information by the students. The presentiality of the interactive will have two categories: in the laboratory and in autonomous work.
Subjects:
- archaeological evidence. Primary treatment (description, drawing, photography)
- Interpretation of the evidence (technological, functional, chronological, territorial, social, economic, symbolic)
- Exhibition / debate
- delivery of the file of the archaeological evidence worked (through the Virtual Classroom).
Field trip:
Depending on the availability of means, a non-mandatory visit will be scheduled
CONTINUOUS FORMATIVE EVALUATION
Continuous formative evaluation (30%), will include both participation in the lectures, interactive, practical, as well as other specific activities that also ensure the objective assessment of performance.
THEME DEVELOPED FROM THE ACADEMIC CONTENT
All themes taught must be prepared and elaborated by the students individually. Subsequently, the teachers will indicate on the official date and time of the exam the specific theme that must be submitted by the students through the presential Classroom (Scenario 1 and 2) Virtual Classroom (Scenarios 3). This work represents 40% of the final qualification. The self-created version, the incorporation of complementary readings, the level of comprehension acquired, and the correct use of technical vocabulary will be valued. The mechanical repetition of the contents taught will be penalized, as well as the collective elaboration of themes.
WRITTEN WORK
In the case of written work (30%) the assessment will depend on the originality of the work, the appropriate use of sources, as well as the use of literature in English or another foreign language. It will be submitted by the students through the presential Classroom (Scenario 1 and 2) and Virtual Classroom on the official date and time of the exam (Scenario 3). An oral presentation of the content of the work will be given in a maximum of 15 minutes in a classroom setting (Scenario 1 and 2), or virtually (Scenario 3) depending on the conditions established by the Centre at that time. The capacity for synthesis and the formal aspects of the presentation itself will be positively valued. The day and time of the presentation will be previously established.
QUALIFICATIONS
In the case of fraudulent exercises or tests, the provisions set out in the Normativa de avaliación de rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións will apply.
The final qualification will be the result of the sum of the scores obtained in each section, with the conditions expressed as follows: 1) Failure to submit the subject or written work will result in a grade of "Not presented". 2. A minimum mark must be obtained in the continuous formative assessment (1.5 out of 3), in the subject developed from the subject taught (2 out of 4) and in the written work (1.5 out of 3) to add up the marks obtained. In the case of not reaching the minimum score required in any of them, the grade will be "Fail".
In the second opportunity call, the section or sections that were not handed in or that did not reach the necessary grade will be given, under the same conditions as in the first opportunity.
In case of official dispensation, the evaluation will consist of a written exam (70%) on a previously agreed bibliography, and an assignment that will be equivalent to the interactive classes (30%). This work must be agreed with the teachers in charge at the beginning of the term, no later than October 22th, 2021.
Teaching activities of an expositive nature: 32 hours
Seminar interactive teaching activities in groups: 16 hours
Tutorials: 2 hours
