Presentation

The course is structured around three main components: research into human palaeoecology and prehistory, palaeoanthropology, geology and palaeontology of the quaternary; intervention archaeology in this stage of evolution, and the management, conservation and socialization of archaeological heritage. This official URV qualification shares the formative aims and activities of the degree courses in History and Geography through a series of introductory subjects to a specialization in archaeology.
