Tech4Heritage’s second training workshop took place this week in Nasiriyah in the south of Iraq. The training was delivered in the city museum and on site in Ur.
The windy conditions on site during the visit meant it was not possible to launch a drone, but the trainees were able to practice digitisation on the ground.
The trainees were also able to practice their newly learned capture techniques in the museum on objects from the collection.
Training took place in the museum of Nassiriyah. Field session took place in Ur, ancient capital of Mesopotamia, where there is the Great Ziggurat of Ur and the Royal cemetery.
Training in Mosul took place in the University of archeology of Mosul. Most exercises were made on random objects. Field session took place in Bab Maska, one of the doors of the Antique city of Ninivae.
During our workshops in the site of the antique city of Babylone, trainees worked on parts of the processional way monuments, and pavement bricks. Field session took place in Borsippa.
