- Course objectives
- This subject will practise the knowledge gained during the lecture on the fieldwork theory and practice. The emphasis is on gaining skills for technical drawing and photographical documentation of tangible archaeological finds - pottery, chipped and polished industry and also on forming tables and pictures into a publication with a use of graphics programs. Within this seminar the students will have to do the surface collection on a particular locality, resulting into documentation about the performed investigation (inserting into maps, parol description of the place), collection of data about the primeval and middle-age development of the place of investigation and their analyses. A presentation about the results of the surface collection will be required together with the gained knowledge of the historical development of the place. Students make teams and choose a topic for their Grant project. In the field, students will also practise the technical levelling and its application within the archaeological research and other measuring works.
