According to the Dublin
descriptors, students, at the end of the course, will demonstrate:
1) knowledge and understanding skills such
as to reinforce those achieved in the first cycle; ability to elaborate and /
or apply original ideas, in a research context.
2) ability to apply knowledge and
understanding and ability to solve problems to new or unfamiliar issues,
inserted in broader (or interdisciplinary) contexts connected to one's field of
study;
3) ability to integrate knowledge and to
formulate judgments on the basis of information that is not necessarily
complete;
4) ability to communicate one's knowledge
clearly and unambiguously to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors.
5)
ability to carry out research autonomously.
The course gives the knowledge and methodologies for
the recognition of building materials and their acquisition or manufacture,
with insights into the interpretation of construction processes and engineering
systems of antiquity, the evolution and architectural characteristics of
specific types of monuments, as well as for the documentation of the monuments
themselves and of the archaeological excavation, even in a submerged environment.
The application of the general skills listed above is
concretely implemented in the direct survey of the monuments. To this end, the
candidates, under the guidance of the teacher, carry out a direct
archaeological survey. The ability to document is preparatory and inseparable
from the expertise in the technical analysis of the monument. During the
course, the student is given advanced methodological knowledge on the
comparative process between the monumental archaeological remains and the
evidence of the sources, especially the treatise of Vitruvius.
This training gives the student the tools for
autonomous observation of the monument. The knowledge of an accurate approach
method avoids the conditioning of the literature produced, which the student, made
independent, learns how to critically evaluate.
The comparative examination of specialist literature
and archaeological evidence also substantiates a corpus of communication
exempla; the enunciation by the teacher of the relative procedural and deontological
criteria also lays the foundations for the ability to produce professional
writings, especially for scientific purposes, and of the related specific
necessary expository skills: appropriate language, clarity of contents, methods
of communication in its different shapes.
The concept of the program includes both manual and
specialist literature, mixed in a
balanced balance that develops in the students both the necessary general
skills and, on the other hand, confidence with the criteria of the archaeological
writing of a monumental subject. Learning is stimulated by exercising the
contextualization of the case studies in the methodological panorama of the
discipline.
