1st. MAC International Workshop of Archaeological Geophysics Ullastret (Girona, Catalonia) 21th-25th of May 2012

21/05/2012 - 25/05/2012

Presentation
The 1st MAC-IWAG is another activity offered by Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya in order to support research in the field of non-destructive technologies for archaeological prospection, after two years of testing some of these technologies in Catalonian archaeological sites. With the participation of some of the best experts in archaeological geophysics worldwide, MAC-IWAG offers archaeologists and geophysicists an intensive 5-day course, within the framework of Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya-Ullastret (Girona, Catalonia).

Scope
The scope of the 1st MAC-IWAG is training archaeologists and geophysicists in the most advanced geophysical techniques for archaeological prospection. The workshop will be held at the Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya-Ullastret: Puig de St. Andreu and Illa d'en Reixac Iron Age archaeological sites (VI-II BC); Girona, Spain (http://www.mac.cat/eng/Branches/Ullastret).

Lecturers
Dr. Albert Casas (Universitat de Barcelona, Spain)
Dr. Michel Dabas (Geocarta, France)
Mr. Phillipe de Smedt (Ghent University, Belgium)
Mr. Gabriel de Prado (MAC, Catalunya, Spain)
Mrs. Ekhine Garcia (SOT Prospection, Barcelona)
Dr. Dean Goodman (GAL, USA)
Mrs. Aurora Martín (MAC, Catalunya, Spain)
Mr. Cornelius Meyer (Eastern Atlas, Germany)
Mr. Gianfranco Morelli (SOING, Italy)
Dr. Alexandre Novo (Geostudi Astier, Italy)
Dr. Jordi Principal (MAC, Catalunya, Spain)
Mr. Roger Sala (SOT Prospection, Barcelona)
Dr. Armin Schmidt (GeoDataWIZ, UK)
Mr. Robert Tamba (SOT Prospection, Barcelona)

Teaching and programme
Lectures will focus on four techniques: Ground penetrating radar, magnetics, electromagnetic induction and electric resistivity. The workshop includes theoretical topics, fieldwork activities and data processing.
Basic theory through presentation of case histories will be introduced for every technique. Fieldwork will focus in fast and large-scale data acquisition for high-resolution mapping. Data acquisition will be carried out in the Ullastret archaeological site. Fieldwork will include archaeological excavation. The participants will go through data processing flows, visualization and final archaeological data interpretation.

Participants
The workshop is open to geophysicists, archaeologists, engineers, physicists and geologists who are interested in geophysical technologies for archaeological prospection.

Cost
The registration fee is 300 Euros, which does not cover accommodation and meals. Assistance will be offered with arranging accommodation close to the venue. There will be four competitive ISAP bursaries of 100 Euros each, for attendants of the workshop who are ISAP members and who are either students or young professionals on a junior salary scale.

5ª Trobada de les Egipciaques. Ciencia y Patrimonio: usos, abusos y necesidades

10/11/2011 - 11/11/2011

Dies 10 i 11 de novembre de 2011,

Lloc: Residència d'investigadors, carrer Hospital, 64 Barcelona

En els darrers 50 anys hem assistit a certa explosió dels estudis de caràcter científic aplicats al Patrimoni històric i més recentment, s’ha difós de forma relativament generalitzada la necessitat d’estudis experimentals (mal anomenats “analítiques”) com a fase, de vegades prèvia, de vegades decorativa, de projectes de restauració de béns mobles i immobles. En aquest panorama caldria incloure l’arqueologia i la documentació històrica com a fornidores de resultats per a l’anàlisi històrica o la conservació, úniques raons de ser de qualsevol mena d’anàlisi aplicada al patrimoni cultural.
Però no sempre els estudis científics, històrics o arqueològics han estat d’utilitat per a restaurar, conservar o simplement conèixer el patrimoni, de vegades han donat lloc a errors clamorosos i intervencions errònies. D’altra banda, existeix certa fascinació per la tecnologia que dóna lloc a un imaginari d’exactitud i veritat absoluta que moltes vegades res o poc té a veure amb la realitat, sovint distorsionada per abusos dels resultats analítics, un mal disseny experimental, manca de rigor en la metodologia (de vegades induïda per una idea preconcebuda dels resultats) o una errònia interpretació de les dades.
La intenció d’aquest seminari és discutir fins a quin punt la Història, la Ciència i la Tècnica poden ajudar a conèixer el Patrimoni: on es pot arribar, amb quines limitacions, amb quin grau de certitud... però alhora posar de manifest els abusos i males interpretacions amb que dades suposadament científiques han induït, en ocasions, a restauracions equivocades o clarament perjudicials. En definitiva, despertar l’esperit crític dels professionals implicats en la conservació i restauració del patrimoni en front els resultats suposadament tècnics o científics de qualsevol mena.
