What does archaeology look like in the age of drones, 3D models, and satellite imagery? This lecture explores how modern technologies are transforming the ways archaeological heritage is researched, documented, and preserved.
Through examples of remote sensing applications, the lecture will present how tools such as LiDAR, photogrammetry, thermal imaging, as well as satellite and multispectral image analysis, enable archaeologists to discover structures and traces of the past that are invisible to the naked eye. These non-destructive methods allow for fast and precise data collection while simultaneously preserving archaeological sites and cultural heritage.
Special focus will be placed on photogrammetry and the creation of 3D models of archaeological sites, architectural remains, and artifacts, as well as on the importance of digital reconstructions and interactive presentations in bringing archaeology closer to wider audiences.
The lecture will demonstrate how the intersection of science, technology, and cultural heritage opens new possibilities for understanding the past — without excavation and through an entirely new perspective.
Admission is free and registration is not required.
