QGIS – An introductory crash-course to mapping archaeological data
The course is designed to teach the basic functions of the freeware Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software QGIS (https://www.qgis.org/en/site/). The goal of the course is to learn a safe handling of spatial data in QGIS in order to be able to create a map, without losing much time. The following topics will be covered:
- Basics of Geographic Information Systems
- Handling QGIS and spatial data in QGIS
- Basic practical work with archaeological data
- Independent creation of a "respectable" map with archaeological value
- Optional: georeferencing/photogrammetry of maps/photos
The event will be a two-day course via Zoom:
21.06., Mo: 8.30 - 14.00h; 16.00 - 18.00h
22.06., Di: 8.30 - 14.00h; 16.00 - 18.00h

Prerequisite Laptop with QGIS installed (https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html). Spatial data in form of a spreadsheet will be provided. If you like to work with your own spatial data (it must be point data, e.g. site locations) please make sure that your data collection has the information of coordinates (x|y, longitude|latitude, Rechtswert|Hochwert, East|North) saved in two separate columns.
