Are we there yet? A review and assessment of archaeological passive airborne optical imaging approaches in the light of landscape archaeology Universiteit Gent
Archaeologists often rely on passive airborne optical remote sensing to deliver some of the core data for (European) landscape archaeology projects. Despite the many technological and theoretical evolutions that have characterised this field of archaeology, the dominant aerial photographic surveys, but also less common approaches to archaeological airborne reconnaissance, still suffer from many inherent biases imposed by sub-par sampling ...
On Rotating Positions in Archaeology, Art, and Architecture: Grindbakken Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Gent
This article questions the usefulness of new container labels like ‘creative archaeology’ to denominate practices beyond more traditional understandings of art or archaeology. Such new labels risk to smooth out the differences between practices that take different positions in one of the many possible interfaces between art and archaeology. Terminology that does not provoke resistance because it masks disciplinary differences is less interesting ...
LiDAR and conflict archaeology : the Battle of the Bulge (1944-1945) Universiteit Gent
Although conflict archaeology is now well established, the archaeological remains of many specific military confrontations are still to be explored. This article reports the results of fieldwork to document the site of the Battle of the Bulge (16 December 1944-25 January 1945). The authors use drone-mounted 1m-resolution LiDAR and very high-resolution simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) methods to reveal more than 940 features within ...
Environmental evidence from early urban Antwerp: New data from archaeology, micromorphology, macrofauna and insect remains Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Recent excavations along the Jordaenskaai, in the medieval burg area in central Antwerp, have provided a unique opportunity to explore the archaeology, economy, and environmental context of early medieval Antwerp. This multidisciplinary project examined structures and features that are radiocarbon dated to 760-970 CE in order to gain a better understanding of the use of human and environmental resources and the use of space at the dawn of this ...
Archaeology of Ancient Greek Music: from reconstructing instruments to deconstructing concepts Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Archaeology of music is an interdisciplinary scholarly activity that partakes in archaeology and musicology and that specializes in the study of material evidence of music of the past. Its core activity consists of excavating, dating, analyzing and classifying remains of musical instruments. But it can start with the discovery of any physical trace of human sound-producing activity and reach all the way to investigating symbolism and cognition ...
Luminescence dating techniques in archaeology and geoarchaeology: principles and applications Universiteit Gent
Landscape Archaeology. Egypt and the Mediterranean World KU Leuven
This book deals with the archeology of ancient landscapes in the Egyptian and Mediterranean regions. Geoarchaeological methodologies have emerged as a major component in any archaeological approaches to better understanding both the dynamics of the establishment of ancient environments and the variety of settlement patterns adopted by human societies. Thirteen contributions are grouped into four parts entitled "Geoarchaeology and reconstitution ...
Urban environmental archaeology in Brussels (Belgium): perspectives at the onset of the 21st century Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Over the last decades a specific research protocol aiming at optimizing the integration of environmental archaeology within the urban archaeological practice has been developed in Brussels. Its systematic application has enriched our knowledge on many aspects of urban development. Current research addresses three main topics: urban Dark Earth and the origins of Brussels, the evolution of the regional landscape and urban economy and personal ...
