The course is organised in 2-hours modules, each devoted to a particular theme in geoarchaeology presented by an invited expert. At the latest the evening before the lecture, each student has to send at least one question beforehand to jan.driessen@uclouvain.be on the basis of the texts provided by each speaker. At the end of the semester (30th of May) a critical evaluation of the different seminars needs to be submitted to the same email (with name, LARKO 2240 in title) and a max of 10 pages (Times, 1,5 interligne). ATTENTION: this evaluation needs to be critical - a simple synthesis of the different papers is not acceptable. This is the programme (each time at 10h45, one hour of lecture, one hour of questions by students, C444-Salle Mertens of GRAAL- the lectures will be hybrid to allow students in quarantaine/isolation and non-UCLouvain interested people to attend).
