Greece: Eleusis 3D Archaeological Recording and Visualization Project
This field school will introduce students to a broad range of 3D recording, mapping, animation and visualization methods. Students will be given hands-on instruction in these methods in the context of the major Greek archaeological site of Eleusis. Eleusis is world famous as the location of the Eleusinian Mysteries – a significant Athenian religious festival - and is located some 14 miles west of Athens opposite the island of Salamis. The students will record the site’s extensive architectural remains using terrestrial laser scanning, photogrammetry , GIS and GPS. 3D computer visualization and animation technologies will be used to re-create areas of the site.
This program involves an application process. Student applications will be evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis. Archaeological work involves physical work in the outdoors. You should be aware that conditions in the field are different than those you experience in your home or college town. This program operates during the summer, and students will be exposed to the elements while in the field. Good boots, working cloths, mosquito repellent or mosquito net and sun protective gear (hat, sunglasses and sunscreen) are required and mandatory.
