Course Objectives

The course intends to broaden and deepen the knowledge about Christian and Medieval archaeology, focusing on specific themes that are central to the scientific debate and which offer to students methods and tools to lead their research independently.

Course Prerequisites

Students who have not taken the examination for Medieval Archaeology during the three-year course should pass an oral examination about general issues concerning Medieval Archaeology.

Teaching Methods

The course is structured in two educational modules: a first 3 CFU module and a second 6 CFU module. Both modules include: frontal lessons, visits to archaeological areas and museums, conferences and workshops on specific aspects of this discipline.

Assessment Methods

The examination is based on an interview, valued in thirty, where the student is expected to expound critically the issues addressed during the course. Archaeology students are also expected to comment on a scientific contribution assigned during the lessons.
