Archeologyon a deeper level

Our expert instructors will guide you in an intensive learning experience that integrates concepts, data collection, excavation, and interpretation. The historic military post, El Presidio de San Francisco, will be your testing ground.

Geophysical techniques like radar, magnetometry, conductivity, and resistivity are fast becoming essential archeological skills. They can augment traditional documentation methods, target features for excavation, and minimize expense, site destruction and reconnaisance time.

Presented by

Scanning the Land: Skills Training in Geophysical Techniques. Armed with the Presidios robust GIS database, expert instructors demonstrate the unique ability of geophysical equipment to identify buried sites and site features rapidly and non-destructively. NCPTT challenges traditional pedagogy by making you an active, engaged research partner! archival, historical, and archaeological data gathered by the Presidio Archaeology Center over decades of research.

Go to our website now to see results from 2006, and in February to see results from 2007. Moving the Earth: Learning by Testing. Most courses end with data collection. But what did it all mean? To learn what it is that caused the signals you must move the earth! Select anomalies will be excavated so that participants can learn just what features create their remotely sensed data. Join NCPTT and the Presidio Trust in an unparalleled opportunity to interpret remote sensing data through the lenses of
