Geomatics covers the science and technology of gathering different sources of geospatial data, which after storing, interpreting, analyzing, modelling and distributing, can be turned into useful geographic information. Geomatics involves the tools and techniques used in surveying, cartography, photogrammetry, remote sensing, satellite navigation systems, geographical information systems and other earth-related disciplines.

Autumn School - Detecting Cultural Landscape in Mediterranean Archaeology (RSPSoc)


Detecting Cultural Landscape in Mediterranean Archaeology (DeCLaMA)

TERRE DEL CHIANTI - SEPTEMBER 17th- 22nd 2012

The combination "landscape-archaeology" represents a great opportunity for economic and social development. This perspective formed the idea of this course. The traces of the historical land use represent the main elements in the Mediterranean Cultural Landscape, characterized by the same variety and beauty of the archaeological and architectural heritage, but poor known.

The course is aimed to give the tools for discovering and preserving the
Cultural Landscapes, working towards their analysis and evaluation mainly in archaeological areas, proposing an innovative perspective of management by a multidisciplinary approach, involving botanists, archaeologists, geographers, land managers and architects.
