MA Quaternary prehistory and Archaeology

Prehistory and archeology are based both on a historical / literary knowledge, necessary for the interpretation of the aspects linked to the cultural component of the evolutionary process of man, and on a scientific knowledge for the interpretation of the environment that is the background to the interpretation and analysis of prehistoric and archaeological sites. The integration of different disciplinary areas combines the knowledge linked to anthropology, human paleontology, chronology, the evolution of faunas and flora, the archaeometry and geology of the Quaternary with that more strictly connected to the history of man in the its material and immaterial manifestations, from the Paleolithic to the Middle Ages, to the topography, to the structuring of the settlements, to the material, artistic and literary sources.
