FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY
Field Archaeology is born with the
idea of gathering during summer days little groups of students from different
parts of the world to teach, learn and form future investigators in this field
of the Science. We intend to give an opportunity to young students from the
field of archaeology as well as from other related human and natural disciplines,
of acquiring experience and formation by a pleasant and participative pedagogy
that includes theoretical and practical classes in a natural frame of excellent
possibilities.
The Course-Workshop develops completely at La María Ranch, an archeological locality of Argentinian Patagonia, where we take ahead our investigation project.
The multidisciplinary characteristics of this project and its possible usefulness in different areas provide the possibility of specialization in particular investigations, articulating a work which necessarily requires a long temporal continuity.
