Paleontology, Geology, Archaeology, Biology.
The main objective of Master in Archeology and Paleontology is to know the science of Archeology and Paleontology, and the working method when a site is detected and archaeological research is carried out. This Master in Archeology and Paleontology, to achieve this objective, provides knowledge about the introduction to archaeology, field archaeology, the archaeological laboratory analysis process and its registration. Furthermore this Master in Archeology and Paleontology prepares you to learn how life developed millions of years ago, from the time the Earth was formed to the present day. It also prepares you to learn about the different species of living beings that have populated the planet over the years and their generations and extinctions. In addition, it prepares you to carry out a paleontological investigation, from deciding the place to explore until the fossil remains are found, and how to orient yourself in the terrain to locate them.
