Edolo, Italy
From: 22.08.2016 to: 04.09.2016
The advanced course “Recording rock-art: new technologies for the documentation and management of mountain and valley heritage” will be offered by the University of Milan (through its branch known as the University of the Mountains, a centre of excellence located at Edolo) in collaboration with the Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici in northern Italy. The post-graduate course is aimed at developing new professionals for the field and transforming historical/cultural heritage into a valuable lever for regional development and economic growth.
The programme aims to provide its participants with an ‘expanded’ point of view both geographically and chronologically and to bring together complementary disciplines so as to create ideas and methodologies and enrich the field experience of future rock-art specialists.
The lectures will include both theoretical and practical sessions on mapping using GPS and total station as well as the creation and management of databases. There will also be lectures on geoarchaeology and archaeobotany as well as the conservation and restoration of archaeological heritage.
This course gives the possibility of learning and gaining practical experience to European students and graduates, offering lectures and contributions from professors and other professionals active in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Scandinavia and England. The course also makes available the network of experts at universities and research institutes across Europe brought together over time by the Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici.
