Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The systematic analysis of historical maps is an important methodological approach for a well-founded interpretation of archaeological prospection data. Maps from the 17th-19th centuries are central sources for settlement, environmental and landscape archaeology. However, any other archaeological investigation can also benefit significantly from a better classification of features and finds using historical maps. The course teaches the theoretical and practical basics of using historical maps on the basis of archaeological examples. In the practical part of the course, digitised maps are georeferenced and interpreted archaeologically.
Assessment and permitted materials
Personal attendance required; active participation (involvement in discussions);
Personal processing of an assigned task/map in a GIS including a written report.The partial performance of the report is planned as a written digital submission.
