Our Intensive Digital Curation and Applications in Close-Range Photogrammetry Workshop is an intensive 5-day training program in photogrammetric survey, data acquisition, analysis, and presentation with an emphasis on digital curation of archaeological material. The program is designed to offer to participants training in a set of skills which are rapidly finding applications in the cultural heritage sector, but also in other fields such as architecture, engineering, manufacturing, video game design, and law enforcement to name a few. Our participants will acquire, over the five-day training session, the necessary practical and analytical skills necessary to properly incorporate photogrammetric applications into their pre-existing career toolbox with a special focus on the cultural heritage sector.

​

          Experience with these techniques on real artifacts and in a real setting is an exceptionally useful and lucrative skill to acquire, but due to the novelty of many of the acquisition methods the sources for training are few, expensive, and unfocused. These educational opportunities that do exist tend to understate the complexity of the world and the objects that can be captured and do not tend to provide the training necessary to adapt to the object, scene, or terrain that is being visualized. In contrast, this workshop provides a full set of technical, theoretical, and practical skills for close-range photogrammetry with a focus on applications in archaeology and the cultural heritage sector. As such, it offers thorough training for field work, processing, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of ancient artifacts of various sizes and materials in an accessible and professional way. Hands-on experience in archaeological photogrammetric applications is essential in the rapidly developing field of archaeological sciences, but difficult to acquire.
