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 down-hole measurements will be applied.
The field component will be complemented by a compulsory (online) component during fall 2022 dedicated to data analysis, processing and interpretation.
The preliminary course schedule can be found below. The dates of the virtual lectures are pending the lecturer’s availabilities.
All virtual lectures will be recorded and made available on this page.
