Contributing the Preventive Archaeology: Innovativeness, Development and Presentation

Objective

CONPRA project, with its Consortium composition and program, tries to answer some major challenges in the development driven archaeology. With its particular focus on economic and technological circumstances in 'emerging' markets, the major issue is increasing the capacities of SMEs in facing new and changing conditions in their respective countries, and in reinforcing the capacity of academia towards more competitive role in heritage industry. CONPRA will join 4 partners (2 universities and 2 SMEs) from 4 different countries (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Serbia). All 4 partners could be considered as leading institutions in their fields of expertise in their countries. All partners intend to employ secondees on their regular projects providing so the major field for gaining new knowledge and skills, as well as to exchange experienced researchers aiding the partner institutions on the spot. ULJ will involve secondees from SMEs into its program of aerial schools (in Slovenia and elsewhere) planned for 2013. The major working of the UBG will be archaeological site of Vinča (10 m deep Neolithic site of extreme international importance for the appearance of early farming in Europe). VIA MAGNA will focus on testing of use of the 3D photogrammetry on selected sites with presence of torsal architecture in the landscape context and TerraVerita will work on the evaluation of archaeological data, acquired by non-destructive research, and their value for archaeological prediction in relation to the management of landscape transect´s research. Each WP will produce a manual that will containing knowledge, experience, proved methodologies and techniques in the above mentioned fields of archaeology. The project and its outputs will positively influence the quality of research of all participating partners, especially their potential and capacities for applicative research tasks and projects.
