This course provides an opportunity for students to participate in new learning abroad opportunities offered by the School of Culture, History and Language. Opportunities may include faculty-led study tours as well as programs delivered by partner institutions. This shell course is intended for newly developed in-country classes whose offering is dependent on external circumstances, such as first-time New Colombo Plan funding or government/partner institution approval, and in-country classes intended as a one-time only offering.

Information on each topic offered within this course will be outlined in the 'Other Information' section, including the topics offered, and information on the unit value, convener, academic session and indicative workload. The topics offered through this shell course will typically be made available through a competitive selection process.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. Varies depending on the specific topic offered and will be described in the Other Information section for each new class when it is added.

Research-Led Teaching

This course will be informed directly by the collaborative research of Dr Shimona Kealy (ANU) and Dr Mahirta (UGM).

Field Trips

This course consists of a 3 week trip to Indonesia, subdivided into one week at the Universitas Gadjah Mada campus, Yogyakarta, and two weeks in the field on the island of Lombok. The trip dates are as follows:

3rd - 8th July - UGM, Yogyakarta

9th - 22nd July - field, Lombok

Additional Course Costs

Class Schedule

Week/Session	Summary of Activities	Assessment
1	Week 1: Language lessons, lectures, and short field trips based at the Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, INDONESIA	Online Quiz at end of week
2	Weeks 2 & 3: In the field, archaeological excavation of rockshelter	Participation in excavation & Daily field diary
3	Course Description: This is an intensive course involving 3 weeks of travel, study and fieldwork in Indonesia. It is a hands-on, archaeological excavation-based course run collaboratively between the School of Culture, History and Language, CAP, ANU, and the Department of Archaeology, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Students will participate in the course in equal numbers from both institutions, with combined in-class learning and practical participation in the excavation of a prehistoric archaeological cave site in Indonesia. This will entail one week based at UGM in Yogyakarta training in Indonesian excavation techniques and basic artefact analysis, visits to cultural sites and museums, and basic Bahasa Indonesia language training. For the next two weeks of the intensive period, students will travel to the field site to conduct the excavation. This will be in a cave/rockshelter site with an archaeological deposit recording human occupation since at least the Mid to Early Holocene. Students can expect to aid in the recovery of shell, pottery, lithics, and animal bone, among other materials. Students will then work together with their peers and teachers to record and interpret the site and its archaeological assemblage, making simple inferences about early modern human occupation, movements, technologies, and cultures on small islands in the region.	Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to: 1. Explain the principles of archaeological field work and good practice excavation in an Indonesian context; 2. Demonstrate competence in basic fieldwork techniques related to excavation, depth control, sample collection, stratigraphic profiling, recording and documentation, and initial analysis; 3. Distinguish the context of archaeological finds; 4. Demonstrate an ability to work in a remote field location with limited modern facilities; 5. Work in an international collaborative team; 6. Analyse and report data obtained from archaeological excavation in a written format.

Tutorial Registration

ANU utilises MyTimetable to enable students to view the timetable for their enrolled courses, browse, then self-allocate to small teaching activities / tutorials so they can better plan their time. Find out more on the Timetable webpage.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of the ANU culture as a community of scholars. The University’s students are an integral part of that community. The academic integrity principle commits all students to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support, academic integrity, and to uphold this commitment by behaving honestly, responsibly and ethically, and with respect and fairness, in scholarly practice.

The University expects all staff and students to be familiar with the academic integrity principle, the Academic Integrity Rule 2021, the Policy: Student Academic Integrity and Procedure: Student Academic Integrity, and to uphold high standards of academic integrity to ensure the quality and value of our qualifications.

The Academic Integrity Rule 2021 is a legal document that the University uses to promote academic integrity, and manage breaches of the academic integrity principle. The Policy and Procedure support the Rule by outlining overarching principles, responsibilities and processes. The Academic Integrity Rule 2021 commences on 1 December 2021 and applies to courses commencing on or after that date, as well as to research conduct occurring on or after that date. Prior to this, the Academic Misconduct Rule 2015 applies.

 

The University commits to assisting all students to understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. All coursework students must complete the online Academic Integrity Module (Epigeum), and Higher Degree Research (HDR) students are required to complete research integrity training. The Academic Integrity website provides information about services available to assist students with their assignments, examinations and other learning activities, as well as understanding and upholding academic integrity.
