ARCHEO-IMAGING LAB: EDUCATION


One of the primary missions of the Archeo-Imaging Lab is education. Since its founding in 2000, the Lab provides its facilities to regular courses at the University of Arkansas and to graduate student training. Additional educational services are provided to the public and professionals through booths and shows at University-sponsored events, during archeological events and fieldwork, and through participation in national workshops in archeological remote sensing.

REGULAR COURSES

The Department of Anthropology offers the course ANTH 4633: ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROSPECTING & REMOTE SENSING, taught by Professor Kvamme, the Lab Director. This course includes lectures, intensive use of computer and image process methods, GIS technology, and hands-on use of instrumentation through a series of field trips.

M.A. AND PH.D. GRADUATE STUDENT TRAINING

Several graduate students in the M.A. and Ph.D. programs in the Department of Anthropology and in the Environmental Dynamics Program are currently undertaking research projects in archeological remote sensing applications under the direction of Professor Kvamme, Lab Director. These projects invariably require use of Lab facilities.
