Summer School “Digital Archaeology” 2026

Dates: 29 June–4 July 2026

Place: Pessac (just near Bordeaux), France

The "Digital Archaeology" summer school involves researchers from the Bordeaux archaeology cluster's Archéosciences Bordeaux, Ausonius and PACEA laboratories. It aims to give participants an overview (initiation) of the research themes and analysis techniques employed in Bordeaux, and an opportunity to acquire practical skills in data processing.

This year, participants will be offered a choice of three paths, comprising a common core of compulsory lectures for all, followed by a presentation of concrete applications and by practical work.

Thanks to a multi-scale approach, participants will have the opportunity to discover imaging techniques at the scale of the site and the archaeological object (e.g. photogrammetry), the quantification of the shape and configuration of objects (geometric morphometrics) as well as the characterisation and quantification of surface roughness (e.g. striations, wear) of archaeological or anatomical objects.

An optional fieldtrip to La Roche-à-Pierrot (Saint-Césaire) in Charente-Maritime (France) is available upon registration!

This initiative is supported by the GPR «Human Past», the Graduate Program ARCHEO, and the Fédération des Sciences Archéologiques de Bordeaux.

The "Digital Archaeology" summer school is also supported by the companies Mahr and Digital Surf.

Slideshows and oral presentations will be in English.

Looking forward to welcome you in Bordeaux!
