Teaching methods and learning activities

 Will be more frequent classes in expository nature,  punctuated by student participation in discussions. These ones will be the "pretext" and support base to the analysis of various teaching resources, such as texts previously distributed; documentaries didactic nature, as well as the case study. The exhibition and discussion of case studies counts on invited researchers. We include also visits to places that display sets of archaeological sites with the aim that the student can grasp the whole as such.
