- Put students in contact for the first time with the concept of Archaeology, showing them the characteristics of the discipline and the ways of acquiring knowledge from it.
- Provide students with general information on the history of Archeology and archaeological thought that allows them to know the changes that have occurred over time in the practice of the discipline.
- Train the student, through interactive classrooms, in the basic understanding and analysis of texts, as well as in the identification of the different currents of thought through them.
- Show the potential and the need to resort to other disciplines of knowledge for the reconstruction of past societies.
- Identify the key elements and procedures of the archaeological documentation of sites from different periods (prehistory, antiquity, middle ages and later).
- Delve into concrete and specific aspects of the subject, deeping into its methodological and practical dimensions.
- Emphasize the contribution of Archeology as part of a set of disciplines that contribute to the knowledge and study of the past, as well as its importance for historical interpretation, provided that an adequate context and the necessary theoretical concepts are handled.

GENERAL:
CG1 - Know and analyze the diachronic structure of history
CG2 - Use, organize and interpret historical sources
CG3 - Know and have the ability to use information gathering tools, such as bibliographic catalogues, file inventories, and electronic references
CG4 - Know and use methods and techniques from other human sciences
BASIC:
CB1 - Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects involving knowledge from the forefront of their field of study
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include a reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature
CB4 - That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialized and non-specialized audience
CB5 - That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy
TRANSVERSAL:
CT1 - Apply analytical, critical, logical and creative thinking, demonstrating innovative skills
CT2 - Work autonomously with responsibility and initiative
CT3 - Collaborative teamwork and corporate responsibility
CT4 - Communicate information and ideas clearly and effectively in public
SPECIFICS:
CE3 - Know and interpret history as a discipline under construction
CE4 - Know and analyze the topics and problems that are the subject of historiographical debate
CE5 - Critical awareness of the relationship between the social, economic and institutional dimensions of the past
CE6 - Knowledge of the main explanatory keys of past societies (class, ethnicity, gender,...)
CE7 - Understand, interpret and prepare historiographical texts or original documents in one's own language
CE8 - Analyze and interpret the archaeological record
- In the theoretical classes the teacher will expose the contents of the agenda. It will try to motivate the student with the use of examples close to their daily reality and current news on the subject, facilitating their participation. The explanation of the topics will be supported by tables that facilitate their understanding and memorization, images and photographs, audiovisual content and, as far as possible, with archaeological materials. Likewise, the resources of the network will be used, providing useful addresses and working with them. Access to specific bibliography related to the aspects dealt with will be facilitated.
- The interactive classes will focus on training in the management of specialized bibliographic sources and tools for access to research resources within the world of archaeology. The student must carry out a series of tasks during the development of this subject. These works must be carried out with a minimum of scientific rigor and care both in the writing style and in the contents, always related to the topics taught. Practices are interactive so participation is essential.
The reading of the book by Glyn DANIEL (1974. Historia de la Arqueología. Alianza Editorial, Madrid, 1st edition 1967. Penguin Books Ltd.) will be mandatory, which will complement the understanding of several interactive ones.
- The field practices will consist of a visit to two fortified sites, one from the Iron Age (Pedra Castro) and the other medieval (Castelo da Rocha). If possible, they will be complemented with a visit to the Museo das Peregrinaciones. The three sites are located in the city council of Santiago de Compostela. These activities will take place on the official dates, provided that funding is granted for it. If it is not possible to carry it out due to the health emergency or lack of funding, it will be replaced by an interactive practice or by a field practice developed in the vicinity of the study center that does not require additional funding.
The subject is face-to-face, but the virtual classroom will be used as a space for the development of the subject. Since useful materials for students will be posted here, it is recommended that they consult the platform regularly.
In the event that face-to-face teaching is not possible due to the health emergency, the virtual classroom will remain in use and the theoretical classes will be taught through the Microsoft Teams platform. The practical classes and seminars could also be given through Microsoft Teams, and the hours of the field practices, in the event that they cannot be carried out, will be used to reinforce the seminars and practices already included in the program.
A continuous evaluation will be developed.
- The evaluation of the theoretical part will be carried out through periodic controls on the subject taught and a final test consisting of a written exam that allows verifying the knowledge acquired by the student, to be carried out on the official date. The sum of the exercises completed will account for 60% of the final grade (6 points out of 10). This form of evaluation may also be carried out remotely. It will be necessary to achieve a score of 2.4 points out of the 6 that are assigned to the theoretical part to be able to do addition with the interactive matter.
- The interactive classes and the field practice will be valued with 40% of the grade (4 points out of 10), being valued the participation and the delivery of written works and the oral presentation of the same. It will be necessary to achieve a score of 1.6 points out of the 4 that are assigned to the interactive part to be able to do addition with the interactive matter.
In the second call, in July, students will have to take a theory test and present the tests delivered in relation to the interactive classes of the course indicated by the teacher, in the case of not having passed them previously.
In case of official exemption, students will be examined based on the exam (60% of the grade) and a work that will be equivalent to the practices (40% of the grade). This work must be agreed with the teacher in charge at the beginning of the semester.
Qualification system: expressed by numerical final qualification from 0 to 10 according to current legislation (Royal Decree 1125/2003 of September 5; BOE September 18).
The art. 16 of the Student Academic Performance Assessment Regulations (DOG 21 July 2011) establishes the following: “Fraudulent performance of any exercise or test required in the assessment of a subject will imply a failing qualification in the corresponding call, regardless of the process. disciplinary action that could be taken against the offending student. It is considered fraudulent, among others, to carry out works plagiarized or obtained from sources accessible to the public without re-elaboration or re-interpretation and without citations to the authors and the sources” ('A realización fraudulenta dalgún exercicio ou proba exixida na avaliación dunha materia implicará a cualificación de suspenso na convocatoria correspondente, con independencia do proceso disciplinario que se poida seguir contra o alumno infractor. Considerase fraudulenta, entre outras, a realización de traballos plaxiados ou obtidos de fontes accesibles ao público sen reelaboración ou reinterpretación e sen citas aos autores e das fontes').
