LABORATORY STUDIES ON THE ANCIENT POTTERY ( LECA )
CHAPTER I
NAME AND DEFINITION
Article 1 The Laboratory for the Study of Ancient Ceramics , identified by the acronym LECA , is a permanent extension project of the Institute for Human Sciences, Federal University of Pelotas ( ICH / UFPel ) approved by the Coordinating Council for Education Research and Extension ( COCEPE ), recorded in 2011 in the Dean of Extension and Culture ( PREC ) Division of Planning and Technical Support ( DIPLAN ) , originally under the number .
Article 2 The LECA is located in its own room on the ground floor of the building of the former School of Fine Arts , the street Marechal Floriano , no. 179 , center of Pelotas , RS , Brazil . The LECA still has a low virtual address worldwide through international computer network , namely www.leca.ufpel.edu.br .
Article 3 The ACLE basically covers the area of archeology and its object of study ancient ceramic material through approaches to study distinct and complementary , for example , stylistic , formal , technical , typological and iconographic . ” Ancient” ceramic material is understood here primarily as objects in various types of supports made of ceramic material culture , such as vases , statues , mosaics , tombstones , plaques, seals , terracotta figurines , among other contexts and from Mediterranean and middle – eastern, mostly of Greek archaeological sites during different periods featuring its ancient history , that is , from the proto -history to the Hellenistic period .
Single paragraph. The term ” ancient” is not necessarily restricted to studies of Greek material dating between the proto – history and the Hellenistic period , but can also be applied to periods and newer contexts . This study approach depends crucially on the different proposals for research projects that will be developed ceramic material by ACLE .
Article 4 In order to deepen and complement the studies on the ceramic material , the ACLE also operates from a perspective that integrates interdisciplinary research in several related areas of archeology , including Anthropology , Petrography , Zooarchaeology , Ethnography , Bioarchaeology , among others, and may compared to contemplate , or through the appropriation of methods of analysis and interpretation , archaeological contexts and diverse periods , such as ceramic artifacts from prehistoric , historic and Mesoamerican Brazilian archaeological sites .
Article 5 The LECA is configured as a core of studies and supporting research and other scholarly activities of teaching and extension , as support for the training of researchers at various levels , in order to promote the development , deepening in Brazil and dissemination of knowledge concerning the analysis of the ceramic material .
Single paragraph. This Regulation is subject to rules adopted by COCEPE / UFPel , Standardization of the Dean of Extension and Culture and the General Rules of the Dean of Research and Graduate UFPel .
CHAPTER II
OBJECTIVES
