Learning objectives
The course aims to provide advanced training in the field of classical archeology and ancient topography. Training objective is the acquisition of a wide and qualified theoretical and practical knowledge of the latest research methodologies in the field of archeology and topography of the classical world and high qualification in the field of the protection, conservation and enhancement of the archaeological heritage . Tools, objectives and methods of contemporary archaeological research will be acquired by the maturation of humanistic skills and techniques related to the excavation, collection, processing and editing of data, surface reconnaissance, the cartographic bases and operating systems, preventive archeology. All of these skills will enable the achievement of a critical awareness of the ancient landscape, which will be known settlement programs, agricultural divisions, ramping water, road systems and infrastructure. The final objective will be the ability to decode the ancient landscape in all its components, identifying the semantic systems and coming, therefore, for the wise management of the contemporary landscape. In terms of knowledge and understanding, teaching is oriented to provide advanced theoretical and practical knowledge of the contents and methods of archaeological research and topography of the classical realm. Will be acquired in-depth knowledge of the scientific debate on Greek and Roman archeology and topography, diagnostics of archaeological, information technology applied to archeology, the excavation, collection, processing and editing of data, surface reconnaissance, bases cartographic and operating systems, preventive archeology, environmental protection, conservation and enhancement of the archaeological heritage. The ancient landscape will experience an enhanced critical awareness needed to evaluate programs settlements, agricultural divisions, ramping water, road systems and infrastructure in a diachronic and decode the linguistic system. The knowledge and learning skills acquired during the undergraduate program will be implemented through the delivery of specialized texts, including in foreign language, that will help develop and implement original ideas through participation in initiatives aimed at knowledge of new areas of research and mastery of the scientific debate on archaeological studies and disciplines applied to archeology. With regard to the ability to apply knowledge and understanding, teaching, thanks to a substantial broadening and deepening of knowledge compared to those achieved in the first degree, teach you to apply the skills acquired in an independent and original research and contribute to the enhancement of the cultural and in all its meanings, mediating the content and meaning to non-specialists. The ability to apply knowledge and understanding will be favored by lectures, seminars, tutorials, individual or group, organized as part of the training activities. The student will be stressed, in this second level of study, a critical study of texts proposed for self-study and a methodological approach towards more specialized topics under study. As part of the seminar discussions will be assigned specific tasks, in which the student must demonstrate independent critical thinking and problem-solving skills within the new interdisciplinary framework that characterizes the integrated course and correct application of methodologies and tools to research the latest . In terms of independent judgment, teaching is aimed at the acquisition of a solid cultural awareness and self-judgment in the field of archaeological and topographical studies of the classical realm. The goal is the maturation of advanced skills related to the documentation and reading of archaeological contexts in the various stages of excavation, collection, processing and editing of data, surface reconnaissance, the preparation of base maps, preventive archeology, new technologies applied to cultural heritage. The conscious management of these skills will achieve effective evaluation capacity within the diagnostic of archaeological and promote autonomy of reading and interpretation of the ancient landscape, decoded into its constituent elements and brought back to their original meaning. Judgement will be acquired through any tutorials and workshops, as part of the learning activities. These activities will allow you to properly assess and independently archaeological resource, to read critically and to correctly interpret the texts and documentary sources, to develop a critical reflection on the role that archeology plays in today's society and its history and evolution in relation to Recent historical changes, cultural and methodological. The acquisition of judgment will also occur through the analysis of artifacts and archaeological documents in discussions and thematic meetings in which the student must demonstrate ability to critically process and deepening, which will reach full maturity with the responsibility of an individual research topic. With regard to communication skills, the student will be able to communicate appropriately with their skills and the results of his research, using the technical language of their own discipline, and be able to use the main programs and repertoires computer as a tool for documentation and communication vehicle. The communication skills will be tested in the course of exercises and seminars, through oral presentations and the use of computer tools for image processing and the use of digital repositories related to the archaeological sites. In terms of learning ability,
the student will be able to learn the methods of documentation of archaeological and topographical contexts of old, through the reading of the main archaeological and written sources relating to them. It will also be able to read and understand scientific texts specialized in foreign languages, and to use an interactive computer tools as information channels, and in-depth study. The student will, therefore, deal with in a mature and independent study of specific topics in the field of archaeological disciplines, choosing learning strategies and study its potential and more appropriate to the chosen theme. It may, therefore, develop processing capabilities to enable it to continue, for the most part independently, studying archeology in a perspective linked, for example, a possible research activities or to further development of skills in the professional field research institutions and public and private institutions responsible for the protection and promotion of cultural heritage, namely universities, museums, archaeological superintendence, foundations, public and private institutions that govern the management of the landscape and managing excavation, archaeological teaching and museum exhibition.
Course unit content
Without words. Space as a language in the ancient world.
The course will examine the construction and operation of the ancient landscape as the coefficient of identity and consent in the Roman world. Of the integrated urban-rural will investigate the main factors of development and territorial control, or settlement programs, plans, agricultural divisions, ramping water, roads and infrastructure rationalization. Particular attention will be ensured in the planning and construction of the ancient city, considered in its topographical and urban aspects and its components architectural and urban design in terms of public and private building. The semantic systems and their narrative tools of the Roman city will be exemplified in the specific contexts of ancient Italy, with particular regard to regional VIII Aemilia. The examination of the lymphatic system of the ancient landscape will see the contribution of humanistic skills and techniques required to professional archaeologist and surveyor for the collection, processing and editing of data: decoding of written sources and archaeological excavation, surface reconnaissance , cartographic bases and operating systems, card archaeological risk, preventive archeology, new technologies applied to cultural heritage, archeological documentalistica, e-archeology. Tools, objectives and methods of contemporary archaeological research will contribute ultimately to define the contribution of archaeological sciences to the management aware of the environment and the management of cultural heritage.

Teaching methods
The teaching method is appropriate to the specific needs of the discipline, which requires the transmission of the main contents of archaeological research through traditional lectures and examples of the most common tools to work through any practical applications, if supplemented by seminars in collaboration with the main regional museums. The work material requires the constant use of computer support, they can immediately transfer, on a visual level, the content in question. Students will be invited to interact with the main digital databases and to become familiar with the new technologies applied to cultural heritage, with particular attention to the e-archeology, the archaeological documentalistica, to geographic information systems, cartography archeology. At the end of the seminar discussion will be required for a given research topic during the lectures.
Assessment methods and criteria
The valuation method involves an oral preceded by any discussion seminars and tutorials on a specific research topic. Questions on the main lines of scientific debate related to archeology and topography of the classical world will aim to test knowledge and skills on diagnostics of ancient landscapes, the semantic systems of the city and the territory greek and roman, on the historicization of the settlement dynamics on the protection, conservation and enhancement of the archaeological evidence. The sufficiency will be considered to be verified if the acquisition of advanced knowledge and specialized research tools that can support deep understanding of the lymphatic system of the ancient landscape and the management aware of the research methods archaeological and topographical concerning him. The score will be calculated based on the student's ability to acquire a critical awareness of the content of the debate on the archaeological landscape greek and roman and of the finest tools and methods of archaeological research contemporary Rel to the city and the territory. The final score of the integrated will be calculated by averaging the scores achieved in the individual tests.
