Archaeology is a scientific discipline that investigates, uncovers, systematically and methodologically examines, and interprets cultural assets from ancient civilizations. The primary objective of an archaeologist is to conduct scientific research in Anatolia and Thrace and share the acquired knowledge with the global scientific community through national and international platforms. Additionally, an archaeologist aims to pass on their knowledge and experience to students, enabling them to analyze and interpret archaeological concepts, ideas, and data using social science research methods. This, in turn, fosters individuals who recognize the significance of cultural values and are dedicated to safeguarding our cultural heritage.
 

Learning occurs through formal, open, or distance education. Students participating in excavation and surface survey activities gain field experience.

The assessment and evaluation system implemented in our department is determined within the framework of the Trakya University Education and Examination Regulation, published in the Official Gazette dated 11.08.2003 and numbered 25196. Regulation Link
For departmental courses, a midterm exam, a final exam, and a make-up exam for failed courses at the end of the semester are administered in written format. Examination schedules are announced on faculty and departmental notice boards at least 20 days in advance as a draft schedule and at least 15 days before the exams as a final schedule by the department head.
Attendance in courses and practical sessions is mandatory. Students are required to attend at least 80% of lectures and 90% of practical sessions. Students who fail to meet the attendance requirements and/or do not achieve success in practical sessions are not permitted to take the final exam for that course.
A student's final grade is determined by evaluating both in-semester performance and the final exam score. In-semester grades consist of at least one midterm exam score as well as grades from assignments and practical applications. Exams are graded on a scale of 100. The semester/year-end grade for a course is calculated as follows: • 30% of the arithmetic average of the midterm exam(s) (20% for distance education programs) • 70% of the final exam score (80% for distance education programs) However, with a decision from the relevant faculty/school board and its announcement at the beginning of the semester, the midterm exam(s) weight can range between 30% and 70%, and the final exam weight can range between 70% and 30%, provided that the total equals 100%. If the decimal place in the final calculation is less than 5, the grade is rounded down to the nearest whole number; if it is 5 or higher, it is rounded up to the nearest whole number. The passing grade is determined using the absolute grading method, subject to the decision of the Faculty Board and the approval of the Senate. The letter grade corresponding to the semester/year-end score, calculated using the absolute grading method, is accepted as the final grade.
