Teaching – autumn semester of 2020
Due to the announcement from the Swedish Government issued May 29th, that returning to campus-based education is possible from June 15th, the following applies to teaching at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology during the autumn semester:
- Due to the ongoing corona (COVID-19) pandemic and the restrictions that have been issued, the courses taught this autumn will have a limited number of meetings on campus, depending on the availability of suitable lecture rooms. The major part of the teaching will take place online. Detailed information on what is the case for your course will be given below.
- If the teaching is campus-based, there will be assigned entry and exit passages for each teaching room regarding stairwells, corridors and entrances (doorways). Please be considerate and follow the instructions to the point. Hand disinfectant will be available in all lecture halls and group rooms.
Please pay attention to the start time of your teaching. The stated time in your course schedule is valid.
This course focuses on theoretical and practical issues connected to archaeological fieldwork. Modern archaeology requires knowledge and awareness of a wide range of scholarly fields, both in relation to the archaeological field practice and concerning the role of archaeology in society. In this course the students take part in archaeological excavations, carry out archaeological documentation of buildings, and learn how to plan and perform landscape analysis. The students will also gain insights into the various methods of analysis in modern archaeology. Topics like GIS (geographical information systems), contextual documentation, and the compilation and interpretation of large amounts of archaeological data are studied. Finally the students will get the opportunity to reflect upon their professional roles, the role of archaeology in society and thereby connected topics of ethics, outreach and the use of history. Throughout all parts of the course an emphasis is made on the theoretical foundation of all archaeological practice.
