Planimetry and topography archeological practices begins in Ifach 2011

Along with talks of training volunteers will be receiving throughout this campaign VII, this year we introduced as one of the strongest practices archaeological surveying and topography in the next successive Saturdays and throughout the month of place in August will Ifach 2011.
This year, we divided the team into three groups: Planimetries, Sections and Surveys, so they can understand what the graphic documentation necessary archaeological and maximum accuracy and discipline in execution. Therefore, the practice and the challenge of undertaking complex situations is what will help them better understand what it takes to have a good flatness and topography of the site. For example, the challenge of surveying equipment was to determine the elevation difference between the level where we work and the elevation of the existing tower located in the Mirador Cavanilles a few meters above the current level of the reservoir.
To do this, they should move and move the base station to reach the height of the tower in a gesture memorize repetitive movements pursuing techniques and practices for the future.Everything matters, from plant level, balanced, to the position of the rod into the socket. Imports plummet, its verticality, making the measure that gives us the position of a stone within a structure, or proper disposal of the tape when triangular object within an excavated area.
Currently, in addition, there are many other technological means where many of the things volunteers will go out alone exercise. But it is important to learn the basics, how to do it by hand, the old, to understand how and why it should then be able to do with the current mechanisms. So after lunch the efforts were directed to show you how just scanning the field work and with what tools we can carry it out. Practices will continue to do most Saturdays, either in full-time, although only two hours by the coexistence of a chat.
