The School will face the problem of the modern documentation technologies in the heritage field,
giving to the participants the opportunity to obtain a detailed overview of the main methods and
applications to archaeological and conservation research and practice. Furthermore, our School
will give the chance to participants to enter in a very short time the kernel of the scientific
discussion on 3D technologies – surveying methods, documentation, data management and data interpretation – in the archaeological research and practice.
The School will be open to ca 60 participants at graduate level, to those carrying out doctoral
or specialist research, to established research workers, to members of State Archaeology
Services and to professionals specializing in the study and documentation, modeling and
conservation of the archaeological heritage.
The grant application and registration form are available online.
The deadline for the grant application is 15th February, 2008.
Grants provided by UNESCO and ISPRS will be available for students with limited budgets and
travel possibilities.
The deadline for the registration is 15th March, 2008.
The School will be held in the congress centre Centro Stefano Franscini, Monte Verità,
Ascona, Switzerland. The centre is an ETH-affiliated seminar complex located in a superb
botanical park on the historic and cultural Monte Verità area, which will also be the residence
of the participants with its integrated hotel and restaurant.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together young interdisciplinary scholars working with spatial GIS (Geographical Information System)-based models in landscape archaeology in order to assess whether and how such models can help us rethink traditional questions as well as tackle new problems.
The main topics and chronological framework of the workshop are as follows:
• Models of past population movement and pathways in the landscape, using friction surfaces (prehistory and protohistory)
• Models of regional road systems, settlement patterns and cultural interactions: mapping and analysing relationships and distributional site clusters, infrastructures and surface materials (Hellenistic, Roman, late Roman and early Mediaeval times)
• Models of diachronic land use: ecological and economic forms of agriculture and pastoralism, applying geographical and spatial analysis to investigate the exploitation and supply of resources and goods over time.

Space Applications Days 2008
A l’occasion des Journées des Applications Spatiales organisées par le CNES à Toulouse du 22 au 25 avril 2008,
une session d’une demi-journée sera consacrée aux applications des données satellitaires à l’archéologie.
Cette session sera une occasion unique de rassembler des spécialistes, utilisateurs et industriels, afin de faire un état
des lieux de l’utilisation des moyens satellitaires au service de l’archéologie, tels que l’imagerie optique, l’imagerie
radar, le positionnement par satellite, etc.
Vous trouverez le programme détaillé de ces journées ainsi que toutes les informations pratiques d’inscription sur le
site https://www.spaceappli08.com/. Pour tout renseignement complémentaire, contacter Solange Sailliard au (33)(0)5.61.28.14.15
Vous pouvez soumettre des propositions de communication (en français ou en anglais) à partir de juillet 2007 (via
le site Internet du colloque ou adressées à luc.lapierre@cnes.fr. Date limite de réception des résumés : 30
novembre 2007.
