Prehistoric Archaeology, as the name suggests, encompasses the period of human history before written records. This field examines and questions all phenomena related to humans and their lifestyle and behaviors during this particular period of time. Additionally, this discipline investigates the natural environment in which humans lived, examines and evaluates findings unearthed through excavations in chronological order. In this context, Prehistoric Archaeology is a scientific field that explores all material and spiritual developments throughout the Stone Age.

The scientific research methodology of the field is based on the construction of hypothetical inductive or hypothetical deductive methods through comparative studies, excavations, and surveys. Among the branches of science it draws upon are zooarchaeology, paleobotany, palynology, climatology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geology, paleoanthropology, ecology, dating methods, chronology, ethnology, economics, and archaeometry.

In terms of research areas, Prehistoric Archaeology focuses on the techno-typologies of tools made from chipped stone, ground stone, bone, horn, and wood. It also covers art, decorative objects, iconography, settlement patterns, life and belief systems, burial customs, economic models, demographics and natural environment, glaciers, chronology and stratigraphy, human behaviors, and migration routes.

The program includes mandatory courses related to Prehistoric Archaeology. In addition, students will be offered elective courses related to this field and courses based on their preferences.
