In this curricular unit students are introduced to topics related with the study of Greek Civilization. Students should know and identify the main accomplishments of this Civilization (political, social, economic and cultural), throughout the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods.
1. Disseminate and discuss the methodological ways inherent to research under Heritage Sciences, particularly in the areas of Archaeology and Art History.
2. Articulate the functions of the heritage sicentist in interdisciplinary contexts and in the context of contemporary scientific production.
3. Relate the concepts of primary and secondary sources.
4. Develop knowledge on bibliographic and documentary resources and your organization.
5. Build methodological approaches and techniques applied to research paths.
6. Identify and apply research paths and planifications.
- Define the concept and realities related to the Proto-History in the context of the Iberian Peninsula;
- Define in space and time cultures and ethnic identities encompassed in this concept;
- Analyze the socio-economic and cultural processes that occur in time and space considered;
- Identify major archaeological indicators for studying these processes.
-To understand the fundamental concepts of Prehistoric Archaeology
-To perceive the changes of ecosystems in Holocene period and also changes in social organization and subsistence strategies of prehistoric communities.
-To recognize the diachronic transformation of forms of occupation and organization of space and of "inhabiting" the territory during the Recent Prehistory through material remains.
-To understand the regional variability of archaeological remains (techniques, forms and ways of "making").
- To assess the prehistoric settlement of the Iberian Peninsula in a European geographical context since the end of Pallaleolithic to the end of Bronze Age.
To know the concept of city in the classic world; To understand the evolutive process of the Greek and Roman cities; To explain the development of Greco-Roman orthogonal urbanism; To understand the role of Rome in the normalization and diffusion of the regular urbanism; To analyze and to compare several urban plans from Greek and Roman cities; To understand Rome’s urban development.
We seek that the student becomes familiar with the main aspects of Military Archaeology (army structure, recruitment system, medieval armament, castles, etc.), of the territorial organization ("Civitates", "Terras", "Julgados", etc), as well as of Road Archaeology (roads, bridges, etc.).
-To recognize the diverse forms of occupation and organization of space and of "inhabiting" the territory during the Recent Prehistory through material remains, with particular emphasis on architectures.
- To question the classical categories of sites, putting emphasis on the traditional dichotomous and functionalist concepts behind them, and promoting critical thinking on the archeology of architecture.
- To make "unfamiliar" the discourses on architectures and to realize the scope and limits of the use of comparative analogies with Ethnography and Anthropology
- To master the techniques and modes of configuration of singular sites and architectures through the knowledge of the used materials used and technical gestures that they imply
To present students with a general overview of the political, economic and social situation of Hispania from the end of the Roman imperial administration to the arrival of Afonso VI of Leon and Castile (1072). Special emphasis will be placed on the would-be Portuguese territory.

To explain the geographic, political, economic and chronology of the "invention of money". To meet the technologies related to the production of coins. To understand the monetary systems in Classical Antiquity, especially during the Roman period and with special attention to the Iberian Peninsula. Initiation to research in numismatic studies.
To promote research and knowledge about materials and techniques/technologies of their exploitation, transformation and/or production, in order to better identify and contextualize artifacts and their functions, as well as to perceive behaviors and evolutionary technological stages.
To promote knowledge related to (inter)national contexts of production of materials with traditional technologies, to facilitate a better understanding of archeological contexts.
To equip the students with methodological tools that allow them to research on the subject.
To know Roman building techniques and materials; To characterize classic architectural orders; To analyze the Roman architectural decor; To know the most important buildings and their implantation in the Roman cities; To understand the importance, the meaning and the evolution of certain characteristic buildings.
We seek that the student will acquire knowledge about the main aspects of Daily Archaeology, particularly regarding the archaeology of the houses (noble and common houses; urban and rural houses), the archaeology of the religious spaces (churches, mosques and synagogues, and their relation with liturgy), and the archaeology of the death (evolution of the several burial forms).
To promote the reflexion and the practice, in an integrated and interdisciplinary way, of risk preview, analysis and management, seeking the preservation of archaeological heritage.
To equip the students with methodological tools of work that allow them to research on the subject, to define and to implement plans of action and to sustain decisions.
This course has two main objectives. The first is to introduce students to the concept of cultural heritage raising awareness for its multidisciplinary character and, the second, is to introduce and critically analyse theories, methods and issues related to its safeguard and interpretation, examiningsome of its impacts in contemporary societies.
1) To familiarise students with specific concepts and basic methods, i.e. political society, prosopography, the Feudal State, the Modern State, etc. 2) To propose and justify a chronology for the main developments occurring in Middle Ages in Portugal . 3) To provide students with adequate knowledge about the powers of the king, the secular church, municipalities, their relations and conflicts. 4) To familiarise students with the main resources in the History of the Powers during the periods studied.
We seek to make the student familiar with the main aspects of modern and medieval Portuguese Numismatics, both regarding Monetary History and, mostly, concerning the identification and classification of coins.
This subject's general aims are to develop the students’ social consciousness and their awareness of the importance of cultural diversity; to encourage the acquisition of multidisciplinary skills and a critical attitude regarding the preservation and value of heritage.

- To access a diversified version about Portuguese history in the 19th and 20th centuries; - To contact diversified sources about the historical knowledge of this period; - To encourage research and individual work; - To provide complementary bibliography matching professional and individual interests; - To foster oral participation, by the share of individual interests or by providing texts for discussion;
It is expected that students acquire a detailed knowledge of the specific period. That they are aware of the different perspectives concerning historiographical issues addressed in the course.It is expected that they acquire the ability to use accurate terminology and concepts regarding this period’s social and economic history. The goals of this subject will be presented and discussed at the beginning of the semester.
