Training and Research in the Archaeological Interpretation of Lidar

Postojna, Slovenia, 27-29 April 2022

The international meeting is open to researchers, PhD students, and professionals in archaeology and heritage management wishing to enhance their knowledge of airborne laser scanning and who are interested in studying past movement and pathways. TRAIL Meetings incorporate presentations of case studies and methods, interactive workshops, poster presentations, and a round table session. They provide opportunities for practical training through small group work. We aim for a 4:1 student teacher ratio in workshops to provide learning opportunities that go beyond basic technical skills. The entire group stays and takes meals on-site at the conference venue. We have an active social programme as part of the meeting, including an international potluck.

This year’s theme is Archaeological interpretation across scales – learning about landscapes using lidar.

The workshops will be:

• Gentle introduction in the archaeological interpretation of lidar derived data (pre-workshop)
• Deep Learning: Workflow
• Mindful creation of learning sets
• Archaeological applications of UAV-borne lidar

For further information about workshops and presentations see the website https://trail.zrc-sazu.si/programme/

Registration is open until 15 March.
