Date: July 29^th- August 9^th, 2013

Place: Supraśl (Poland)

Aim:

The main aim of the workshop is to promote the understanding of new methods in archaeology for data capture and processing, including new technologies in non-invasive archaeology (Part 1). Part 2 will be focused on excavations techniques and methods of data documentation.

The another aim of the school is to give students understanding of practical methods for data capture, processing algorithms and formal analysis of the results, as well as how variety of data can be used to develop appropriate archaeological inferences. The course considers both non-invasive methods as well as excavations techniques. The course will be taught using a combination of lectures, interactive sessions and fieldwork workshops. This course provides students with a detailed knowledge of the theory, method, equipment and software associated with so called field archaeology. It also allows students to develop key skills frequently expected in landscape archaeology as well as management of archaeological heritage.

Pariticipants:

The school is organised for 15-20 MA and PhD archaeology students as well as professional archaeologists mostly from Byelorussia and NE Poland working on archaeology of the region as well as willing to get knowledge on new techniques in field survey in archaeology.

Organisers:

Podlasie Museum in Białystok, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Republic of Poland,

Institute of Prehistory, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań – ArchaeoLanscapes Europe project

We are pleased to announce that abstract submission is now open for the

30th CONFERENCE of the AERIAL ARCHAEOLOGY RESEARCH GROUP (AARG)!

This annual conference will take place at the location of the RCE (Dutch Cultural Heritage agency 'Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed'), Smallepad 5, 3811 MG AMERSFOORT in The Netherlands.

Dates: 26-28 September 2013.

The conference will bring together scientists, students, decision makers, end users, and commercial companies that are interested in archaeological remote sensing and will cover all themes related to archaeological remote sensing so that the debate on the use and applicability of remote sensing technologies for archaeology and cultural heritage management applications can continue, not only for research but also for the promotion of conservation and public understanding.

• How can our various techniques be deployed in combination with one another, and with what practical outcomes?
• How can we build bridges across regional or national divides?
• What can we learn from combining or comparing our techniques?
• How can we make our results useful to those involved in practical conservation and future planning?
• How do our national or regional realities assist or impede the use of remote sensing techniques in research, conservation and the promotion of public understanding?

You are invited to submit an abstract of maximum 150 words for a proposed presentation/poster on any of the following themes:

• Archaeological remote sensing in the low countries
• Innovative trends
• RS for cultural heritage management
• Human-environment interactions in fluvial systems using RS approaches
• Close range and 3D photogrammetry

Related themes can be suggested. Submission of abstracts to the AARG chair: Esta dirección electrónica esta protegida contra spambots. Es necesario activar Javascript para visualizarla . 
Please indicate your presentation preference: oral presentation or poster and provide your full affiliation. Oral papers should be approximately 20 minutes. Equal value is given to poster presentations.

The programme will offer keynote presentations, paper presentation sessions, poster sessions and social events to share your ideas, explore ongoing research, future developments, including state-of-the-art applications, and network with the professionals from academia, government and industry who are interested in promoting archaeological remote sensing activities.
