Besides getting new experiences in field-working,
we are also trained intellectually with lectures presented by experts. During a lecture we can recharge with energy
and get a lot of new and interesting information at the same time.
We heard about
the roman period and about technologies and methods which can be useful on an
excavation. This year first we learnt about glass and everything that belongs
to it, for example how it is produced, about finds that are made of glass and
so on. This presentation took us closer to those little pieces of glass which
we mostly find and helped to imagine how they looked like. There was also a lecture
about 3D photography which is a quite new technology that is useful in the
documentation process. Hopefully it will be a general thing at all the
excavations in the future. We also had a lecture related to the archaeological and
cultic discoveries of Apulum, which offered us wide knowledge about the
location where the excavation is taking place.
We all were
very enthusiastic about these lectures as we got some insight on the theoretical
parts of archaeology, which will be as useful as the practical skills gained
outside on the field.
