Course Content

Archaeology program Several undergraduate/graduate courses are offered in the university that involve certain field studies. Most of the students in these courses have a general difficulty in the recognition of physiographic features of earths surface. Graduate students particularly in Settlement are believed to be familiar with morphological features and natural processes that exist in the vicinity of a site. The main objective of this course is, therefore, to teach and introduce basic features and earths surface to the student and to enable him/her to interpret topographic maps and extract information from landforms that surround the site.
