Course content
|
1. Surface survey of earthworks (ruined remains of prehistoric and historic features and structures of man-made origin), work with maps, geodetic equipment and GPS station. 2. Surface survey by means of plough-walking and collecting artefacts on the ground. 3. Principals of practical acquire of geophysical data, especially by means of magnetic and geoelectric resistivity methods. 4. Aerial survey by means of visual prospection of the ground surface from small aircraft flying in low altitude. Principals of visual reconnaissance, identification and record of data, navigation and aerial photography. Principals of data processing, description and archiving of acquired data (air photographs, data from GPS and maps).
