Course objectives
Within the course, students will practice their digital skills, applicable in various spheres of modern 21st century archaeology. Gradually, they will learn the principles of methods used not only for the purposes of archaeological prospecting and field research, but also get acquainted with the tools used for the needs of protection of monument, experimental archeology or presentation of archaeological cultural heritage. The teaching material of individual modules will be presented by various forms of learning (theoretical information, tutorials, videos, lectures or online resources).
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to: - explain the theoretical foundations and principles of selected digital methods and tools - identify and generally describe the technical and software equipment needed for specific methods - compare and summarize the advantages and disadvantages of individual methods in practice - analyze and interpret the obtained data - create outputs - present the achieved results (from image to Open-Air museum options)
