Week-long summer school looking at LiDAR survey techniques. This event is part of the ´A Window on the Hidden Bronze Age Landscape of Caithness. project.
The week-long summer school will introduce participants to LiDAR as a survey technology, exploring how it can be used to study archaeological landscapes. Participants will develop new skills in using simple mapping software (including freely available packages like Google Earth) and will be trained in the use of other mapping and aerial imagery sources, to equip you with the skills to understand archaeological landscapes in the field. Fieldwork will see participants analysing and mapping archaeology using LiDAR data, introducing techniques of archaeological survey and recording, and the skills of field observation using digital data as a guide.
Monday 22nd June will be spent at Castlehill Heritage Centre, with the remainder of the week being spent in the field. Please meet at the Heritage Centre at 9am each day, unless advised otherwise.
All project events are free and open to all, but you MUST register to take part in the summer school. This is partly because places are limited, but also so that we can keep participants informed about arrangements during the fieldwork. Please register by emailing charlotte.douglas@aocarchaeology.com with details of when you would like to attend the summer school.
Participation in all 6 days of each week is not mandatory – please attend as and when you can!
If you register but find that you are unable to attend, please email Charlotte as above so that she can allocate your place to someone else.
