Landschaftsarchäologie am DAI. Die Arbeiten der Jahre 2016 und 2017

Abstract

Since landscape archaeology research is involved in many projects of the institute the working group for  landscape archaeology at the German Archaeological Institute (LAAD) has continued their meetings in 2016 and 2017. The fifth LAAD-meeting consisted of a  methodological workshop about low- or noninvasive methods of prospection held in Frankfurt and practical field work on an archaeological site in Oberbrechen (Hesse). There, participants could use geomagnetic measurement equipment or a drone and prepare a driving core. The sixth LAAD-meeting took place in cooperation with the DLR Earth Observation Center (EOC) in Oberpfaffenhofen and was focused on the possibilities for using of earth observation data for archaeological research and heritage management. In 2017 the seventh LAAD-Workshop held in Berlin was concentrated on drawbacks and opportunities of geomagnetic prospections.
