The certification of the course about Geographic Information Systems applied to archaeology is now available (this course is also available in Spanish).
This certification starts after publishing the seven modules that form the course, but it will continue open continuously, so that any user can get it at any moment when the modules are finished.
To take the course, that is free of charge, it’s not necessary any registration. You only have to follow the videos of the different modules induicated at the end of this post.
In addition, if you want to get the certification of the course, that is optional, a complete exercise must be completed, which includes some of the contents shown during the course. Likewise, you must have at least 6 of the 9 existing activities correctly, which will validate the knowledge acquired during the course and will be evaluated by a tutor.
Apart from the delivery and passing exercise successfully, the certification will have a minimum cost, necessary to cover the expenses related to the evaluation and certification. This cost will be € 25.
The certification will be issued by the gvSIG Association, and will include the Course completion certificate.
The exercise and the cartography to be used at this practical exercise can be downloaded from the following links:
In the first section of the practical exercise the steps to follow to send it are explained in detail, as well as how to make the payment.
The course is composed of the following modules:
- Module 1: Preparation of an archaeological project
- Module 2: Digitalizing prospection areas
- Module 3: Analysis of prospection results: Vector geoprocessing
- Module 4: Working with historical maps: Georeferencing images
- Module 5: Territorial analysis of archaeological sites: Raster geoprocessing and Digital Elevation Models
- Module 6: Hydrological analysis to locate archaeological material or sites
- Module 7: Graphical output of an archaeological project: Layouts

Great initiative. This will assist many beginners and even veterans like me who have little or no basis in archaeology.
Keep up the work.

Hi.. I am interested in learning more about GIS, my specific interest is in relation to wildlife surveying. Do you think this course would be useful to me in that regard?
Barra
Hi Barra, yes, this course will be very useful for you to learn GIS because you can follow the videos better than a PDF file. Here the different tools are explained in spoken form.
excellent. I think I will have a look at that!. One question, there are several links and portals below, from which link can I find the educational videos? Also do I need to download specific software to complete the exercises?
Barra
Hi Barra, the course has been prepared on gvSIG. You can download it because it’s an open source GIS. At module 3 we explain how to download it. It’s free.
I would like to join GIS training

Hello,
I would thank you for this initiative.
I am geologist, I have learnt ArcGIS at university and I have found an opportunity of part time job in a telecomunication company due to my knowleadge in GIS. I have already on my computer ArcGIS 10.6 licence from the university where I study, My question : could I work the excercices on this version or shoud I download gvSIG version ?
another question : I am intersted in Geo-archaeology, is there any example on this topic ?
thank you in advance,
Antonios S.
Hi Antonios, the course is done on gvSIG. It’s open source, so you will be able to work on it always, you won’t depend on a license from the university in the future. With gvSIG you will be able to do almost everything that you did on ArcGIS. We invite you to test it.
Best regards,
Mario
I am interested, but I have an old computer with windows 7 operating system, Will this course work with this old operating system?
Hi Terri, we think that it should work. You can check it with the portable version, unzipping it in a path without spaces. At this way you don’t need to install anything.
We remember that the last gvSIG versions don’t work on Windows XP because of the libraries that that system didn’t support, but we think that it works on W7.
