Introduction to GIS 2800-DFWGIS
The lecture and exercises in the field and in the computer room assume building full route concerning manners of the construction of spatial information systemes in it of information about an archeological excavation sites. Principles of the creation of databases, hardware requirements, ways of obtaining the necessary information will be discussed. We will analyse the data from aerial photography, remote sensing, topographical and photogrametric measurements, 3-D scanning (with laser scanners, of radar r and lidar systems ). We will discuss the ways of carthographical projections, work with vector and raster data, ways of creating ortofotomaps and creating of georeferenced data. Basic computer programs applied to GIS will be presented (in it opensouce- not requiring paid licences) together with the ways of their adaptation for drawing up information about an archeological sites.
GIS from a point of view of the archaeologist- ways of obtaining information about:
single settlement objects,
concentrations of settlement objects,
spatial relations,
systems of fields, of roads and the like of relation between the man and the environment l in the ancient history and in our times,
reconstruction of ancient landscapes,
photogrametric stocktaking of an archeological excavation sites,
monitoring of the cultural heritage.
Type of course
Course coordinators
Learning outcomes
The student is able to assess abilities of applying spatial analysis with the G IS for the purposes of archaeological examinations. He knows principles of the creation of databases and formings of research questions possible to solve with the GIS
Assessment criteria
Compulsory involvement in classes (2 acceptable absences, every stayed requires ranking), active participation in classes. Field practice performing topographical and noninvasive measurements and drawing their results up with method of the GIS. Ranking with the evaluation - project preparation system of spatial information for the object, the site or the group of an archeological excavation sites.
