Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Within the framework of the course, the knowledge gained from the courses 'Basics of Aerial Archaeology' and ' Archaeological interpretation of aerial photographs' will be supplemented and deepened by practical work.
The aim of the course is to teach the basics of working with aerial photographs (interpretation of vertical photographs, image rectification, GIS-based interpretative mapping).
The exercise is divided into a theoretical and a practical part: Lecture with presentations and/or presentation of the software and treatment of data based on presentations. In the practical part, the material presented in the theoretical part is deepened by independent work.
Questions and discussion contributions during the lessons are welcome.
