A presentation of the Lab's activities is planned for September.

.

At the AstraLab - Laboratory of Archaeology and Rural and Landscape History of DAFIST  it is possible to carry out practical activities related to the ongoing research and projects on environmental and rural archaeology and history and landscape in the European mountains. Sources and methods of rural and landscape history and archaeology will be explored through educational outings, seminars and workshop activities. The surface reconnaissance (lasting one day) will alternate with workshop activities dedicated to the analysis of current and historical cartography on a GIS platform, re-elaboration of documentation and excavation and reconnaissance data, analysis of finds, consultation of archives of field surveys and private archives in the LASA and the LASA library.

.

Participation in 25 hours of workshop activities or 15 hours of workshop activities and the writing of a paper on the work carried out allow 1 CFU to be acquired.
