Course objectives:
|
The course is designed for PhD studies at the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts. The goal of the course is to acquaint students with the fundamental categories of materials and their characteristics, development, and use in various chronological periods. Students will become acquainted with analytical methods appropriate for the evaluation of archaeological artifacts. A portion of the seminar includes presenting a project aimed at characterizing a specific sample in cooperation with other experts.
|
Requirements on student
|
Knowledge of the basic technological methods for the production and use of materials in various historical periods. Demonstration of knowledge in a presentation of an individual project carried out on a chosen topic including historical details. Excursion to the research workplace, individual project, partial test, comprehensive test, laboratory work.
|
