The course comprises an introduction to the specific local archaeological situation and landscape development, archaeological research questions, and practicing ways to solving them through geophysical measurements. In the field course, state-of-the-art instrumentation including magnetics, electromagnetics, geoelectrics, ground penetrating radar, seismics and geophysical downhole measurements will be applied. The field component will be complemented by a compulsory online component during fall 2024 dedicated to data processing, analysis, and interpretation.
Before field course, students are expected to read up on archaeological prospection using geophysical methods and on the archaeology of the study region?. After the field course, online classes on data processing and data interpretation? will be given in autumn term 2024. The students will be evaluated on a collaborative assignment in form of the preparation of a scientific poster and corresponding presentation. Successful course participation will be rewarded with 5 ECTS credit points.
The course is directed towards MSc students of archaeology, geophysics, and geosciences with knowledge of geophysical prospection methods. The total number of all participants is restricted to 25 (10 from Vienna).
