Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In the last decade, airborne laser scanning (ALS / LiDAR) has developed into an essential method (not only) of archaeological prospection. Even settlement, environmental and landscape archaeological work can hardly do without the high-resolution digital terrain models from ALS data.
The course teaches the theoretical and practical basics of this method using archaeological examples.

Assessment and permitted materials

Personal attendance required; active participation (participation in discussions); Independent accomplishment of an assigned task with written report.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- Test in session on 5th of November (theory): 40%.
- Independent accomplishment of tasks as home exercises within a given time frame: 20%.
- Interpretative mapping of aerial photographs and preparation of a report within a specified time frame (until 28 February): 40%.

Examination topics

The exercise is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. Theoretical part: Lecture with presentations. Practical part: working with ALS data from visualization to interpretative mappin. Unsing GIS software (ArcGIS or QGIS).
Questions and discussion contributions are welcome.
