Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the main methods of non-destructive archeology (aerial archaeology, remote sensing, airborne laser scanning, geophysical prospection, surface survey etc.) In addition to theoretical explanation, the course will also include field exercises and demonstrations of data processing.
The course is taught in Czech and the detailed information is available in the Czech language.
