Aim – description: The Laboratory Course Module “Spatial measurement and documentation methods” explains the concept of geometric documentation and mapping for monuments and archaeological sites. It presents the main categories of surveying, their methodologies and their content. It describes the method of surveying, explains the geometric data of the site and the fundamental problems of surveying, such as horizontal, vertical and tachymetric surveying. The Module teaches the basic features of Geographic Earth Information Systems (GIS) for data collection, management, analysis and visualization. Explains the concept of georeferencing in spatial data, as well as the integration of spatial and/or descriptive data to help implement spatial analysis. A description is given of spatial data formats and Georeferencing, as well as the basic models used to manage the data.
The objective of the Laboratory Course Module is to gain an understanding of the methods and techniques used for the geometric documentation of monuments and archaeological sites used for the restoration and conservation of monuments.
