QGIS course - QGIS for archaeology

Events: 
Day School
Groups: 
Research

Led by Simon Miles, this one-day course will provide a more advanced overview to the uses of QGIS (a free and open source GIS application) for archaeological purposes. It will build upon the previous Introduction to GIS and QGIS workshops, but attending that course is not a prerequisite of attending this one. 

Using actual site data, combined with a series of Open-Data sources we will explore how to use QGIS. We will look at pre excavation tasks such as geophysics, field walking and site grids, as well as post excavation find plotting, digitising of trenches and georeferencing.

HLF Sustainable Impact project

In September 2018, Surrey Archaeological Society received a National Lottery grant totalling £90,000 for an exciting two-year heritage project, Sustainable Impact, which is spread across various locations throughout Surrey. Made possible by money raised by National Lottery players, the project focused on training its members to carry out fieldwork and strengthen the group’s outreach activities in the community.

Outreach

As part of its charitable objective to enhance public benefit, the Society is wholly committed to archaeological outreach. This involves raising awareness about archaeology and creating more accessible learning opportunitie, both for younger audiences and adults who wish to increase their fieldwork and research skills.

Since 2017, the Society has employed a part-time Outreach Projects Manager, who can be contacted at outreach@surreyarchaeology.org.uk. 

To be kept up-to-date on various outreach opportunities in the county, you can be added to the mailing list for our monthly e-newsletters.
