ABOUT THE COURSE

One of the primary objectives of archaeological study is to unravel the human past through material remains. A series of techniques are employed to achieve this goal. The kind of evidence an archaeologist looks for is an artifact, a structure, a feature or an ecosystem within which the humans survived. This gives an interdisciplinary shape to archaeological operations. An archaeological operation involves identifying a potential area, systematically collecting the data, organizing them, situating it in a specific cultural period by using either one or a series of dating methods, conserving and preserving them and also interpreting them.
