Instruction content/structure
The lecture is designed to provide the particiants with a broad knowledge of the fields and topics of computer and geoscience applications in archaeology. It is less concerned with the peculiarities of single technologies, as these will be covered in specialised modules, but more with the theoretical aspects, how quantification and computerization changes and shapes the ways in which knowledge is generated and disseminated in archaeology. In the seminar in connection with the lecture, students will be guided to research a topic on their own and present and discuss the results in a scientific way.
