Effective use of site reports as pedagogical tools in courses on Environmental Archaeology and Archaeoastronomy

Author(s): Victor Fisher

Year: 2015

Summary

Requiring students to analyze individual site reports in terms of theoretical schemes presented in lectures has yielded very positive results. Students have come away from this experience with excellent comprehension of both the site reports and difficulties involved in fitting the data contained therein to a theoretical framework.
