An important objective of the course is the acquisition of knowledge for proper cultural identification of archaeological evidence, with a special emphasis on those in the Galician archeology, referencing those found in the Iberian Peninsula, in relation to the three European areas: the Atlantic, Continental and Mediterranean, with whom they have relationships, to varying degrees, directly or indirectly, both Galicia and the Iberian Peninsula.

They all referred to together or isolated in types, or in-kind attributes are a guide to include an archaeological find in a period, in a territory and eventually into a cultural tradition.
