ADVANCED ARCHAEOLOGICAL TRAINING
Organiser:
Ali DARVISH ZADEH, HELIOPTIC, Vienna, Austria
Every day new techniques and methods are added in different domains of Archaeology.
A massive increase of acquired data is following this development. The efficient management of this data is becoming more and more important.
Archaeological research is based on findings of artifacts and other objects in archaeological context during historical and pre-historical periods.
Excavations can yield a large amount of findings. They also are stored in Museums and depositories.
In this work shop we will deal with RFID Chip technology (Radio Frequency IDentification) for the archiving of findings and of other relevant material. We will learn how RFID technology can help to organize items. Most important characteristics and information can be stored according to individual requirements; they can be recalled easily without complicated searching.
Participants will learn about RFID Technology which is already used in Industry, logistics, science, security and many more applications on a large scale. The Workshop consists of a theoretical, – and a practical part. In the theoretical part the RFID and Bar code technology will be explained. In the practical part participants will work with both hard- and software to evaluate possibilities and limits of this technology.
