Students in computer science, engineering, and physics may be interested in taking Professor Martha Risser’s 2-credit archaeological field school course (CLCV 300) this summer.
To get an idea of how these sciences pertain to archaeological research, see Professor Risser’s recently published article in Journal of Field Archaeology dealing with multi-scale 3D field recording developed at Tel Akko. The photogrammetry based-system is extraordinarily accurate with very high resolution georectified images, and inexpensive to implement. They now produce highly accurate high resolution 3D plans of each square on a daily basis while digging. Students enrolled in the summer course have the option of working on this and related aspects of the project.
