Moderation: Agnes Schneider
Agnes Schneider studied Prehistory and Early History, Classical Archaeology and Roman Provincial Archaeology in Budapest, Hungary, and Physical Geography and Geoarchaeology in Marburg. Her focus is on the analysis of cultural landscapes and sites using statistical and spatial concepts. She focuses on remote sensing and archaeological data, which she examines using FOSS applications and reproducible workflows
Vortragende: Alexis Maldonado Ruiz (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Universiteit Leiden); Rafael María Martínez Sánchez (Universidad de Córdoba)
Alexis Maldonado Ruiz finished his degree in History at the University of Granada and completed the Master in Archaeology (M71.56.1/RD 1393/2007). He obtained a contract from the Ministry of Education program for university teacher training (FPU/2015) and subsequently has developed a research and teaching activity in the Department of Prehistory and Archaeology at the University of Granada.
Rafael María Martínez Sánchez is an assistant Professor at the University of Córdoba. His research areas are Neolithic Archaeology and Early Farmers in the Western Mediterranean, Zooarchaeology, and Recent Prehistory of Southern Iberia.
The emergence of the so-called Virtual Archaeology in the 1990s led to the computerisation of the archaeological discipline. Thanks to it, the use of tools that opened up and promoted new and interesting lines of research became widely used.
Throughout this presentation we will explore some of these methodologies through a particular case study, the megalithic complex of Las Sileras (municipality of Córdoba, Spain), with the aim of relocating it and obtaining updated information on its supports, location and context. To this end, we have designed a triple-scale virtual digitisation and analysis approach that allows us to understand the surrounding archaeological landscape through 4 decontextualised engraved stone fragments.
There will be plenty of opportunity for discussions after the presentation.
Participation is free for everyone. The meeting link will show up here 15 minutes before the meeting.
