The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
The course is divided into three modules :
- Module 1: methodological approach to study archaeological objects
- Module 2: documentation techniques in archaeology (theory and practice)
- Module 3: introduction to the professions in archaeology
- Improve students' mastery of bibliographic reference systems (a process begun in LARKE 1140).
- Improve students' methodological approaches to study archaeological objects by extending their range of working tools (a process begun in LARKE 1140).
- Give students maximum contact with real works of art and objects.
- Introduce students to the activities and achievements of the professional world of Archaeology and Art History.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
By the end of this course, students should be able to conduct individually a scientific examination of archaeological documents. They should be able to conduct a literature search based on archaeological objects or themes, by using specific tools (bibliographical databases in archaeology). Through course sessions in contact with real works of art and objects, students should be able to present a written essay based on a general methodology for analysing archaeological objects (heuristics, description, iconographic and stylistic studies, and terminology). This essay should be illustrated with good pictures that are correctly labelled. |
Content
Continuity with LARKE1140: terminology, vocabulary, description and identification of objects, documentary typology, etc.
General methodology for analysing archaeological objects (heuristics, description, iconographic and stylistic studies, and terminology). Written essay and oral presentations of the results.
Specific methodologies centred primarily on the Auxiliary Sciences, including internal and external criticism, questions of chronology, context and typology of archaeological records. Emphasis is placed on independent thinking and critical observation.
Internship possible as part of this teaching unit.

Teaching methods
The course consists of an alternation of theoretical courses and supervised practical work sessions, excursions and visits (sites, labs and/or museums). Individual practical exercises.
These modalities could be transposed to distance learning due to exceptional conditions.

Evaluation methods
The evaluation of the activity will be continuous and will consist of the average of the marks obtained according to the following two methods:
a) continuous evaluation, based on exercises, intermediate assignments spread over the two terms and active participation in classes (20%);
b) a research project spread over the entire academic year, consisting of
- an oral presentation in the first term (40%, of which 30% is for the oral presentation and 10% for the PowerPoint presentation);
- a written assignment in the second term (40%).
Attendance at lectures and field trips is compulsory and will be checked. Students who are absent without justification from one or more lectures, or who do not submit all of their assignments or mid-term exercises, may be refused registration for the June exam.
If the research project is invalidated, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the instructions for the project, the June assessment will be failed. If the student re-registers for the exam, they will be required to resubmit the entire project, in accordance with terms and conditions to be defined with the teachers.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI), if used, must be used responsibly and in accordance with academic and scientific integrity practices. Scientific integrity requires that sources be cited, and the use of AI must always be disclosed.
