Ardis Archaeology - Mag. Karsten Wink

The aim of a research excavation is to examine a specific archaeological question and to focus on a previous defined question.

Ground probes are needed for a sample like examination of a defined areal to clarify the archaeological conditions, such as the sequence of strata, find density or the findings situation.

Archaeology during the building activity take place during and parallel with the building action.

The aim of an archaeological survey is to investigate the surface of an defined area.

Renovation, rebuilding or demolition cause serious damage to historic buildings but can also revile a new inside into the building development of structures, cities and landscapes.

The precisely accurate survey of archaeological find and findings into a coordinate system (such as UTM/Gaus-Borger/MGI) and the creation of a terrain model is the basis of any archaeological research.

An expertise classification of known archaeological finds and findings is the basis for a useful further investigation.

Because of the rapid progress and extensive modernising projects not only in urban but also rural regions, the stock of cultural-historical items is vanishing.

After an archaeological excavation old building structures can be renovated to present them to the public.

The main target is to explain complicated archaeological terms and complex themes to revive interest in archaeological matters.

Special attention has to be given for the editing and imparting of archaeological research results to laypersons and people who are interested.

The topics of your lectures can be separated into two main parts: One the one side the presentation of the latest archaeological finds and findings and their interpretation and importance for the field of research for a special topic. On the other side the passing on of the latest techniques and methods in the field of excavations.

Archaeological research beyond the usual conditions are in the need of a trouble-free and working infrastructure.
