Colleagues,
Please pardon any cross postings you may be receiving about this
announcement, but I wanted to call your attention to a training opportunity
in GIS, GPS, and geophysics that is just around the corner. If you have
students or colleagues that might find this useful, please pass it on.
Thanks!

Prospection in Depth: A Workshop for Developing Advanced GPS, GIS, and
Geophysical Skills through Plantation Archeology
NCPTT is hosting a two-part training course, Prospection in Depth, in
Natchitoches, Louisiana. The first part (June 18-23) offers instruction in
GIS (ArcGIS 9.2), GPS (Trimble products), and geophysical surveying
techniques (radar, conductivity/resistivity, thermal/aerial imaging, and
gradiometry). Part two (June 25-30) builds onto an international research
project on creolization and the African Diaspora. Participants work
alongside 6 instructors to gather and test remote sensing data at two
plantations spanning the late 1700s to mid 1800s. Each part costs $399.
Contact David W. Morgan ([log in to unmask]) at 318-356-7444 or visit
