Course/Module description:
The course will present current developments in 3-D technology for archaeological documentation and research.
The course will present in detail various documentation methods from stone tools to ceramic vessels and coins. From artifacts that are the size of olive pits to structures. In addition, the course will put emphasis on research questions that are addressed by this new technology. We will learn the various tools that were developed at the computational archaeology laboratory.
Course/Module aims:
Studying and practicing 3-D technology in archaeology from all aspects
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
The student will gain the ability to use independently the new technology and the sate of the art developments. The student will deal with research questions while using the tools developed at the computational archaeology laboratory
