Learning unit contents
After a historiographical introduction, the methodological approach will include a first lesson on vocabulary. Secondly, we will trace the evolution of building materials, their characteristics and techniques of use.
We will then focus on the specific methods applied in building archaeology. We will take a theoretical look at the preliminary studies that need to be carried out and the different survey techniques. We will review the various stages of the work and the creation of a table or database for recording information. We will look at the programmes that can be used and the relevant data for analysing buildings.
The theory will be supplemented by case studies, field visits and practical workshops, as well as by meetings with specialists in the various themes related to buildings archaeology.
