Aerial Archaeology. In Romania and in Europe


Arheologie aeriană. În România și Europa [Aerial Archaeology.  In Romania and in Europe]

By Rog Palmer, Irina Oberländer-Târnoveanu, Carmen Bem

AARG 2010

Pre-conference workshop:
Remote-sensing mapping programmes in archaeology: planning, organisation, results

 

15 September 2010

 

The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the utility of multiannual aerial mapping programmes for archaeology and cultural heritage protection in European countries. Are they necessary? Or can Google Earth replace them?
What are the costs and benefits? How many people are needed, with what expertise? How many flights a year? How many sites identified on average during a flight? How many hours needed to analyse, georeference and interpret the photos?

What about the resulted archives: who get access? What are the maintenance costs?

There are many questions people from countries at an early stage in this field put. There is no easy answer but we want to learn about good parts and mistakes to avoid, if possible.

We want to bring together people who participated in such programmes in
their countries, regions and organisations, to learn about their strategy,
planning, workflow, costs and results. Whether you want to speak about your experience or to put questions, please register for the pre-conference
workshop.
