Organised by Rob Sands and Steve Davis, UCD School of Archaeology and sponsored by the UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland, this one day ArchaeoLandscapes Europe symposium focused on the increasing use of technology in the recording of archaeological sites, monuments and landscapes.The event also provided the opportunity for Archaeolandscape to be introduced to a new audience and as a result new affiliate members were signed up to the project.
The venue was full with over 40 people attending. Attendees included members of archaeological organisations, the general public and students from both Ireland and other parts of Europe. Feedback from the day was extremely positive, many people commenting that for a day of technical discussion the presentations were both informative and enjoyable. We hope to make many of the presentations that we given on the day available for viewing.
Further information, including abstracts, can be found on the symposium web site. Links to speakers organisation and the programme can be found below.
