Dear colleagues,
The first edition of the course "VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES USING GIS" has opened registration.
Dates: March 18th-22nd, 2019, Crete (Greece)
Instructors: Dr. Agustín Díez-Castillo (Universitat de València, Spain), Alfredo Cortell-Nicolau (Universitat de València, Spain) y Dr. Salvador Pardo-Godó (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain)
PLACE: Arolithos, Heraklion (Crete, Greece)
Any archaeological excavation necessitates the destruction of the site where it operates, eliminating the stratigraphical record in the process, and thus the possibility to review the archaeological context. This course focuses on methodologies on how to reduce that damage, while also providing new tools for archaeological research and dissemination.
The course teaches participants how to employ 3D virtualization for archaeological sites. Participants will learn how to apply GIS technology and operate different relevant 3D software (e.g. OpenJUMP, QGIS, GvSIG, Meshlab and Paraview).
The course aims to equip participants with the skills to employ and adapt virtual reconstruction methodologies to their own needs. To facilitate this aim, the course includes practical sessions working with concrete issues to provide first-hand experience in real-life cases.
