Course content
|
The course is aimed at the introduction to the history, current development and state-of-art in archaeological remote sensing (ARS) which integrates several ways involved to the gathering, processing and analysing archaeological data taken from above. Attention is given to the most important techniques of ARS, such as active prospection and photography from low-flying aircraft and from UAV, analysis of satellite imagery and airborne data, airborne laser scanning (lidar) and the ways of archiving and management of the image sources. The course is presented in English. Main topics: 1. Introduction to archaeological and heritage remote sensing (AHRS) 2. Historical development of AHRS 3. Current trends in AHRS 4. Principals of air survey (tools, equipment, techniques) 5. Principals of air survey (processes of archaeological sites/features detection) 6. Shadowmarks, soilmarks, snowmarks, cropmarks 7. Satellite imagery and its application in AHRS 8. Detection and mapping of sites via airborne laser scanning (ALS) of the landscape 9. Data processing and archiving 10. Virtual reconstructions of crop-marked prehistoric and historical sites and monuments 11. Case study - The integration of air survey, ALS, old maps and fieldwork in the search for 18th - 19th military field bases and fortifications in Bohemia 12. Archaeological low altitude reconnaissance flight (conditioned by annually changed schedule and climatic circumstances; for Erasmus students in summer semester only).

| Student - is able to orientate in the evolution of archaeological paradigms and to explain the important theoretical frames in archaeology from 1960´s to present and show the impact of these theoretical concepts in Czech and Middle European Archaeology - understands to main tendencies in the development of the archaeological method and is able to applicate the method in his own project - gains a factual and conceptual frame necessary for orientation in the problems of the Middle-European prehistory and Middle-Ages |
