Lecture talk (June 18th, 18h – 19h)

by Boštjan Laharnar, Head of archaeological departmenet, National Museum of Slovenia

Location: MSH Clermont-Ferrand, amphithéatre 219

The Dolenjska group as an integral part of the southeastern Alpine Hallstatt culture: Overview and Outline.

Boštjan Laharnar will present us the splendours of Slovenian Iron Age, widely known for its “art of situlae”. Located at the crossroads between the Mediterranean and the Continental Europe, the area of today Slovenia has seen the emergence of hierarchical societites which developped a peculiar lifestyle, borrowing from local and mediteranean traditions.

Workshop (June 19th, 9h – 12h30)

Location: MSH Clermont-Ferrand, salle informatique 26

Topic: This practical workshop will allow participants to learn about GIS mobility modeling (calculation of the optimal path, surface-time, etc.), as well as visibility analysis (landscape impact of structures, intervisibility networks, etc.). We will discuss these approaches through practical case studies, based on archaeological data.

Prerequisites: Familiarity with GIS (data management, undestanding the principle of vector and raster layers). We will use the QGIS software.
