Aerial Archaeology. In Romania and in Europe
AARG 2010 Conference Programme
15 September 16 September 17 September
15 September 2010
Pre-conference workshop:
Remote-sensing mapping programmes in archaeology: planning, organisation, results
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.
