Teaching Workshop: Advanced Tolls for Archeological Research
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The laboratory enriches students' technical-professional skills, in order to allow them to find employment on archaeological excavation sites as skilled workers at the end of the training course.
Expected learning outcomes
By attending this laboratory, students are given a consolidated professionalizing training on the use of optical and electronic equipment for topographical relief, such as total station and satellite GPS. Basic rudiments on photo modeling, photo straightening and graphic processing techniques are also addressed.
Lesson period: First semester
Single course
This course cannot be attended as a single course. Please check our list of single courses to find the ones available for enrolment.

Course syllabus
The laboratory aims to consolidate the knowledge of relief techniques in archaeology and, with particular attention, to refine the mastery in the use of instruments such as the total station and GPS. Surveys and acquisition tests are foreseen, in which it will be possible to view the data processing from the beginning to their insertion in more complex workflows (photo straightening and photo modeling).

Prerequisites for admission
For the skills required, the laboratory is preferably intended for students of the Master degree in Archeology, but students of the Bachelor of Science in Cultural Heritage can also access it.
Teaching methods
The laboratory provides a series of lectures, and lessons on the field, in which students can test their knowledge directly on topographical instrumentation.
