In the past few days, we organized an intensive training session focused on measurement techniques and the use of specialized equipment, specifically the total station, an essential tool for archaeological work. This training was a fantastic opportunity for our Egyptian colleagues to gain hands-on experience and enhance their skills in precision measurement and site documentation.
The session took place in the historic Church of Archangel Gabriel (where our conservators are currently engaged in restoration efforts), a setting that provided the perfect backdrop for our work. The church allowed us to seamlessly integrate practical learning with the rich context of our project site.
The workshop was led by Adrian Chlebowski, an experienced archaeologist and topographer, whose expertise in archaeological surveying was invaluable to participants. Adrian guided our Egyptian colleagues through the essential steps, starting with the technical construction and operational interface of the total station. Participants gained in-depth insights into the device’s functions, followed by detailed instruction on establishing a surveying grid and conducting precise measurements within historical structures.
The training wasn’t just theoretical—participants received plenty of hands-on practice and invaluable tips on maneuvering equipment in the unique environment of a centuries-old building. Judging by the enthusiasm and smiles during the session, the training was both informative and enjoyable, leaving everyone equipped with new skills.
