The goal of this course is to teach students the basic principles of spatial analysis in archaeology, focusing particularly on the underlying rationale, as well as the theoretical and methodological implications of frequently applied techniques. This course will offer a theory-based approach to spatial analysis, discussing the various theories and methodologies used to study landscapes and spatial human behaviour in the past through readings, group discussion and reflections. By the end of the course, students are expected to be able to formulate research questions about the spatial aspect of archaeological data, draft a spatially-aware research design, and critically assess the application of spatial analysis and the interpretation of its outputs.
