Funder: European CommissionProject code: 2019-1-EL01-KA203-062875

Digital Excavation through Learning and Training in Archaeology

Description

The DELTA project proposes the design and development of an open course that combines the physical space of the excavation field with the digital space (virtual excavation, online learning) with the aid of the new technology. More specifically, the project proposes the development of an innovative course that will train students in digital and 21st century competences and the use of new technologies in Archaeology, will promote the Archaeological Excavation into an educational means (and offer an innovative educational experience with the assistance of new technologies, such as DB, GIS, laser –scanning, 3d models, digitalization, digital storytelling, augmented and virtual reality, and management of archaeological findings) and will provide theoretical knowledge of documentation standards in implementing Culture Conventions and EU legislation that allow for combatting the illicit trafficking of cultural objects, the protection and promotion of cultural and natural heritage. The main target group of the project will be HE teachers/students of Archaeology at EU level. The course will support a blended learning process through an open platform (online learning) as well as face to face and on-site learning with a transnational mobility of students and their professors of Archaeology. The archaeologists like other cultural professionals need to up skill and be trained in new methods and tools in order to manage, document, preserve and promote the findings during and after the excavation field. In accordance to the European policies, we believe that a further integration and cooperation is needed between the HEIS across Europe, so to improve and the quality and effectiveness of their curricula and methods of excavation as well as the implementation of new technology in the archaeological sector. HEIs that participate in the project will enhance their offer to young archaeologists, as University students, enabling them to cope with a massive introduction of technology in this sector. The project operational objectives will be:•the co-design and co-development (with HEIs) of new (or improved ones) training to fill the gap in the curriculum of initial and continuing training for Archaeology with regards to the management, documentation and preservation of cultural heritage; •The training of HE professors and students in order enable them to make use of the new technology;•The evaluation of the devised online tools/trainings with HE students in order to fine-tune the product and methodology and the delivery capacity of trainers;In DELTA project will be designed and developed a series of elements, meaning that it will include online training through platform and on - site training with practical assignments in the excavation. The course will be structured in a way to offer the appropriate knowledge through lessons, offered already by the Universities that participate in the project, but also there will a practical session of what the students have already learned in class in collaboration with their Professors/educators. During the excavation, there will be offered the opportunity to students to put into practice what has been learned during class and there will be hands – on activities of using and managing the new technological tools. Each partner will be responsible for organizing the selection and sending of their students to the excavation, organizing special trainings in applying the digital methods and tools in the field. The concept is to organize short training sessions in each country with the director of the excavation in charge, supervising his/ her students. The final phase of the training for students of Archaeological Departments includes an intensive study program where a small group of students from each University with their Professor/educator will be able to work together in multinational groups and benefit of the knowledge and skills exchange and thus, gain a different perspective from different Institutions in the project countries, participating from the same sector. Communities of practices will be established in order for students from the project countries to exchange ideas and thoughts. Also, the project will inaugurate a creative dialogue among students and collaborations among Universities.
