ICOMOS Netherlands Lecture: "Using new technologies in archaeology: examples from the UK, Iraq and Syria"
Archaeologists increasingly make use of new technologies such as CT scanning, 3D-scanning, LiDar (Airborne Laser Scanning) and deep learning, that make it easier to detect and preserve heritage, even from a distance.
In this lecture, the speakers will present different case studies from the UK, Iraq and Syria. Iris Kramer (ArchAI) has developed a technology to research historical land management. She worked with two partners in the UK to digitise ridge and furrow traces and to map historical woodland and orchards. Dominique Ngan-Tillard and Rients de Boer (both from Delft University of Technology and the Centre for Gobal Heritage and Development) will explain the use of modern techniques to preserve looted clay tablets from Iraq and Syria and to unlock non-textual information.
Speakers: Iris Kramer, Dominique Ngan-Tillard and Rients de Boer
