Archaeology

Archaeology is an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of the humanities and natural sciences that studies the human past through material remains.

Key Branches and Specializations

Modern educational programs (especially at the Master's level) distinguish several key vectors:

• Digital Archaeology: The application of GIS (Geographic Information Systems), 3D scanning, and remote sensing methods (Lidar).
• Bioarchaeology and Archaeometry: DNA analysis and isotopic analysis of remains to reconstruct ancient diets and migration patterns.
• Cultural Resource Management (CRM): Working in the commercial sector, conducting archaeological assessments and excavations prior to construction projects.
• Underwater Archaeology: The study of submerged sites, shipwrecks, and landscapes.
