3/. The Survey Course (General) Aims of the course The course seeks to provide students with an understanding of the principal surveying techniques employed by field archaeologists and provide training in undertaking a detailed survey of archaeological remains using a Total Station; together with writing- up and interpreting the resultant survey in a broader archaeological context. Objectives of the course This course is designed to give students 1. An overview of the issues involved in archaeological surveying. 2. Practical understanding and experience in topographical surveying. 3. The opportunity to develop teamwork skills along with the ability to prioritise and structure tasks within a set time period. 4. The ability to download data from the total stations and undertake preliminary analysis. 5. The ability to undertake the production of maps and images of the topographic survey. 6. Experience of combining other archaeological information with the survey to produce a written report and discussion of the site. 7. The basic knowledge from which to critically assess the applicability of individual methods to specific survey situations, and assess survey data presented by others. 8. A sharpened awareness of the processes involved in presenting the results of an archaeological survey, through the completion of a written report.
