The archaeology of buildings course aims to introduce the undergraduate student to the archaeological analysis of ancient architecture. This course should make the student aware of the methodological specificities of this approach and emphasise the interdisciplinary approach inherent in this discipline. It thus leads students to question the role of laboratory studies, the history of techniques, documentary study and formal and typological analysis in this method.
The course lasts for one semester, with one hour per week. The proposed structure of the course begins with an introduction to the history of the discipline and the legal and administrative framework within which building archaeologists work. It then explores the methodology of the discipline, considering successively the preliminary survey, the archaeological field study (recording and in situ analysis techniques), the laboratory studies, the contribution of the history of techniques and, finally, that of stylistic and typological analysis.
- Oral examination, lasting about half an hour, with a focus on case study exercises
