Preparation for the writing of a final dissertation.
At the end of Block 3, and building on the foundations established in Blocks 1 and 2, the student is expected to develop a personal scientific stance, and to articulate and communicate knowledge independently. The transition must be made from analyzing and comparing authors’ viewpoints to formulating a personal position supported by scientific argumentation. This entails developing one’s own perspective, engaging in a creative process, and constructing new knowledge on the basis of what is already known. The student must also be able to apprehend architecture and artefacts through complex assemblages composed of multiple buildings, sites, or objects.
Training in the design and writing of a research project dealing with the description and interpretation of a complex assemblage—such as a set of artefacts, an archaeological site (or sites), or a regional context. Topics may concern Prehistory, the Metal Ages, or regional archaeology (artefacts or sites from Prehistory, Protohistory, the Gallo-Roman or Merovingian periods). Research questions may also focus on methodological approaches, including object technology and archaeometry.
Instruction in methodology, followed by supervision of the research project. Upon completion, each student will take part in an individual session for discussion and feedback.
Assessment of the written work, followed by an individual session for discussion and feedback upon completion.
