Course content
After an introduction to the major reference works and sources of documentation on prehistory and protohistory in northwestern Europe, students are tasked with producing a synthesis report on a prehistoric or protohistoric site in continental Europe or its margins, and presenting it to their peers (Part 1).
At the same time (Part 2), students are familiarized with the reading of lithic material. They are taught to distinguish between artifacts and ecofacts, to identify the main categories of lithic production, and are introduced to the concepts of methods and techniques, as well as to the creation of diacritical schemes.
