Advanced Prospection Methods for Cultural Heritage Management – Experiences and Challenges
The combination of traditional aerial archaeological reconnaissance practiced from low flying aircrafts with technically advanced prospection methods, such as geophysics, satellite remote sensing and most recently also airborne laser scanning (ALS – LiDAR) have a great impact on Cultural Heritage Management. The possibility to detect new sites without expensive and destructive excavations, to further investigate and to monitor sites, monuments and landscapes with easy applicable non‐invasive methods have lead to a change in the work of many European archaeologists. Still more and more complex information on how our predecessors lived can currently be extracted from surface layers with little or no need for digging. In our session we would like to present case studies to highlight these positive aspects of the use of the aforementioned surveying methods, but also studies which show problems and pitfalls of these methods for Cultural Heritage Management and investigation in a broader sense.
Organisers: Axel G. Posluschny (Roman‐Germanic Commission of the German Archaeological Institute; Germany) and Martin Gojda (University of West Bohemia; Czech Republic)
Paper and poster proposals can be submitted via the conference website, starting on 1 February, the deadline for submissions is 31 March 2012.
