Cirencester 2006:
Aerial Archaeology Training Course 1-9 July 2006

English Heritage's Aerial Survey and Investigation team is organising an intensive nine-day course for an international group of participants, based in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Students will learn how to interpret archaeological and non-archaeological features on aerial photographs and carry out small landscape analysis projects. They will also develop their interpretation skills in the air, flying from Kemble airfield; they will learn how to organise and plan aerial reconnaissance flights and how to take aerial photographs for the benefit of the historic environment.

This will be the first Culture 2000 funded Aerial Archaeology training school in Britain, as part of the European Landscapes: Past, Present, Future project. The school, and the overall project, aim to deliver a range of activities including the promotion of landscape studies using airborne remote sensing techniques.

All participants will be resident at the Royal Agricultural College near Cirencester and the accommodation and meal cost will be L650 (950 euros). Travel costs to and from the course are the participants responsibility. The course will be taught in English and be open to participants from all European Union countries.
