The
seminar and workshop focus on methods in the research of prehistoric and
medieval maritime landscapes - the coastal areas where seabound activities
played essential role in local economy. The activities will be arranged
in order to introduce the value and opportunities for the use of aerial
photography in the research of maritime landscapes, and to discuss the
methods with colleagues from other research institutions from around the
Baltic Sea. The seminar will be open for other audiences, for the students
as well as for the general public. The workshop will be arranged for discussing
the research methods and further perspectives in situ, visiting the sites
and landscapes of interest on the island of Saaremaa.
