Educational objectives

In the 2020s, digital technology is the preferred and increasingly unique medium for documenting, archiving and analysing archaeological finds. From fieldwork, where the use of GNSS (GPS), total stations, laser scanners, photogrammetry, drones, etc. is now standard for documenting archaeological contexts, through data archiving and analysis using increasingly interconnected databases and more user-friendly and powerful GIS platforms, to the online publication of research results, where the traditional printed book is complemented by open archives, rich web applications and mobile apps, capable of enhancing and giving greater visibility not only to the final result, but also to the entire process of archaeological knowledge production.

Students will be introduced to the main methodologies of archaeological research, with particular attention to the most innovative aspects related to digital tools and techniques, IT applications and the changes following their introduction, not least those related to the rapid spread of artificial intelligence, always with a critical focus on the balance between potential and risks.

understand and interpret the interaction between European scientific culture and the
cultures of the Global South in the light of their historical evolution. This is in order to offer
them specific elements to enhance their ability to situate and relocate the individual
experience within a global cultural history, interconnected and always reshaping, and to

offer them tools for a constructive management of intercultural relations, be they among
individuals or groups.
3. Making judgments. The course will include activities specifically designed to refine
students' autonomy of judgment on the topics dealt with and the knowledge transmitted
(collective discussion of reading lists, comparative analysis of models and media for
scientific communication etc.)
4. Communication skills. Particular attention will be devoted to improving students'
