This course is for students that have successfully completed ARCH2059, International Archaeological Field School. The course will allow students to use the knowledge and experience they gained in ARCH2059, along with the data they collected from the field school, to meet a series of learning outcomes (listed below) through a series of three specific coursework components. (1) data set analysis: students will develop skills in analysing the archaeological data set(s) developed in ARCH2059 in order to extract information that can be used to make inferences about the archaeological site in question. (2) short essay: students will develop a range of writing and analytical skills in the context of approaches to social scientific enquiry when exploring a range of issues in tropical archaeology. site report: in the context of the majority of learning outcome of the course, students will work on producing what essentially amounts to an ‘industry compliant’ archaeological report based, for the most part, on the season of excavation the student was involved in while enrolled in ARCH2059.
130 hours of total student learning time made up from: a) 36 hours of contact over 12 weeks: 24 hours of lectures and 12 hours of tutorials and tutorial-like activities; and b) 94 hours of independent student research, reading, and writing.
