Archaeological Excavation
ΜΑΖΑΡΑΚΗΣ-ΑΙΝΙΑΝ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ, Donati Jamieson
This graduate level course looks into the techniques and methods of archaeological excavation and field practices, with a special focus on integrating modern digital technologies into archaeological work (born-digital field recording, GIS, photogrammetry and 3D modelling, relational database). Students will learn how excavations are planned (aims, design and preliminary fieldwork), conducted (recording practicalities and methods, photography, architectural drawing and database construction) and interpreted (object analysis, establishing chronological horizons, digital processing and dissemination of the finds). Traditional stratigraphic excavation techniques and meticulous context recording are emphasized in the order that one would normally carry out archaeological excavations. By the end of the course, students will understand not only how to excavate and document material remains, but also how new technologies are critical for interpreting the past in a scientifically rigorous manner.
