Admission requirements – candidates holding a first degree in Archaeology, History, Anthropology,

Biology, Geology or any higher degree in human sciences or earth and life sciences. Candidates from other

science fields may be admitted upon curriculum analysis.

Educational and Professional goals

problems associated with sustainable exploration and management of archaeological resources in

compliance with the goals established including:

•••• Identify and characterise

context contributing to a detailed survey of national archaeological resources;

•••• Provide the country with qualified human resources in areas of expertise supported by a network of

laboratory infrastructures that may make use of them later;

•••• Identify archaeological resources and incorporate them in land planning programmes in order to

attract investment and subsequent creation of workplaces and population settlement both at local

and regional level;

•••• Gain awareness of the significance of enhancing and exploring archaeological resources as factors

for the profitability and minimization of negative impacts;

•••• Evaluate the scientific, didactic, patrimonial and cultural potential of archaeol

places of interest in order to maximise them as a means of promotion and regional development.

•••• Draw up archaeological/tourist

•••• Draw up archaeological heritage risk maps within

Apart from the general objectives, this Master’s degree will enable, as already mentioned, exp

specific areas: Rock Art, Lithic Technology, Computer Applications, Palaeobotanics, Quaternary Geology,

Prehistory and Heritage Management, Underwater Archaeology

Access to further studies – the Master’s degree provides access to Doctoral studies, particularly to the
