The ArchaeoLandscapes EU Project
ArchaeoLandscapes is an EU project that aims to "address existing imbalances in the use of modern surveying and remote sensing techniques and to create conditions for the regular use of these strikingly successful techniques across the Continent as a whole. It aims to create a self-sustaining network to support the use throughout Europe of aerial survey and ‘remote sensing’ to promote understanding, conservation and public enjoyment of the shared landscape and archaeological heritage of the countries of the European Union."

ArcLand and Leiden
The Leiden Technical workshops focus on Ground-Based Digital Recording Techniques for the assessment, interpretation and conservation of complex archaeological sites. The workshops ensure that participants leave the programme proficient in the use of state-of-the-art surveying and recording techniques in archaeology and gain a sound understanding of analytical approaches to the Human Use of Space in past built environments and cultural landscapes.
The workshops aim to promote non-destructive methods for the retrieval of archaeological data and contributes to the enhancement and exchange of knowledge within the ArcLand project.
The complete course consists of two workshops: Part I takes place in Leiden and will focus on Methods and Theory, while Part II will concentrate on supervised practical work. This allows the participants to deepen their knowledge and apply their acquired skills to the archaeological field. Part II is entirely embedded in ongoing archaeological fieldwork. The course will be fully compatible with the European education guidelines. The techniques and skills acquired in this course are not site specific and can be applied to most time scales. Either or both workshops can be followed.
