Organizers
University of Siena - Laboratory of Landscape Archaeology & Remote Sensing (LAP&T;
www.lapetlab.it and http://archeologia.medievale.it):
The Laboratory has special experience and skill in
Archaeological Cartography projects and is to consider among the most sophisticated in Europe. The
LAP&T is keen to promote the combined use of new and established methods of survey, each supporting the
others in the exploration and interpretation of carefully chosen heritage landscapes in Tuscany. From year
1999 the LAP&T promoted and managed, in partnership with prestigious national and international
research centres (Italian National Research Council, English Heritage, Aerial Archaeology Research
Group, University of Cambridge, University of Durham, University of Vienna, etc.) numerous
schools and workshops: XI ISSA on Remote Sensing in Archaeology (1999), Aerial Archaeology
Research School (2001), international workshop on Aerial archaeology and new technologies for
the study of archaeological landscapes (2001), the first workshop AL&DT on Laserscanner and
GPS (2005), the XIV ISSA on Aerial Archaeology, Oblique digital photography and GIS-based
interpretation (2005).
National Research Council - Institute of Technology Applied to Cultural Heritage, Laboratory of
Geophysics(www.cnr.itabc.it): The Laboratory directed by Salvatore Piro has been playing for
more than ten years a leading role at national and international level in the development and
application of integrated geophysical methods for Archaeological Prospection and particularly in
teaching advanced students in archaeology (University of Rome LA Sapienza).
Among the many initiatives we can point particularly to the organization of the most recent 6th
International Conference on Archaeological Prospection (www.archeo2005.itabc.cnr.it)
