Dear SHA Members,

Two additional workshops have been added to the SHA 2024 Conference Program.

WKS-6 Submerged Cultural Resources Awareness Workshop, sponsored by the ACUA, This workshop is designed to introduce non-specialists to issues specific to underwater archaeology. Participants will learn about different types of underwater cultural heritage (UCH) and some of the methods employed to help protect those sites. 

WKS-7  Computational Photography Techniques for Historical Sites and Artifacts, sponsored by the SHA Technologies Committee.  Through lectures, demonstrations, and discussion, this workshop provides a condensed overview of computational photography and its application to cultural heritage. Computational Photography extracts and synthesizes information from image sequences to create a new image containing information not found in any single image in the sequence. This workshop offers an intensive introduction to the technologies, software, photographic equipment, and methods for reflectance transformation imaging (RTI), and photogrammetry.

Detailed descriptions of the workshops can be found on the SHA conference webpage at https://sha.org/conferences/

If you have already registered for the SHA 2024 Conference and would like to add either of these workshops to your registration, please contact SHA Headquarters at hq@sha.org.  If you have not yet registered for the Conference, these workshops have been added to the online registration at https://www.conftool.com/sha2024/

We look forward to seeing you in Oakland in January!
