ARCHAEOBIOLOGY AND FORENSIC BIOTECHNOLOGY
It is advisable to pass the exam of human anatomy
The exam consists of two oral tests of the two modules.
Passing the exam is linked to the positive result of both tests.
The final evaluation will be the average of the evaluations of the two tests.
The objective of the oral exam is to evaluate the student's learning level with reference to the issues indicated in the learning objectives.
Relevant evaluation criteria are the skills:
- communicative
- to use anthropological terminology
-to identify, summarize the concepts discussed in class
-to apply the concepts and tools of anthropology
To provide basic knowledge of archaeology, scientific developments in archaeology and application of biological investigations and biotechnology to historical studies and archaeology.
In addition, the course aims to explain the perspectives of technical-scientific activity in the forensic field, with reference to the medico-legal investigation fields.
The course consists of two modules:
1. Forensic Biotechnology - Credits: 3
2. Archaeobiology - Credits: 3
