A joint workshop with experts from TU Delft on applications of remote sensing and geophysics in archaeology
Geophysics and remote sensing play an important role in archaeological prospection, artefact analysis, and other sub-disciplines of archaeology. At the same time, archaeological artefacts, sites and landscapes provide attractive yet challenging objects of investigation for remote sensing, geophysics and related fields.
To explore common ground between the different disciplines, this workshop brings together experts from Leiden University and TU Delft who will present their research at the interface of archaeology, geophysics, remote sensing and related fields in short talks and posters. This will be followed by an open discussion about shared interests in research and teaching.
We hope the workshop will help to provide new opportunities for our students and staff members and deepen the existing fruitful collaboration between our institutions. Everyone interested in this interdisciplinary field is welcome to attend.
