DESCRIPTION:To make sure the time\, location\, and other aspects have not c
 hanged\, or to share this event with your friends\, please see https://app
 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=12370\n\nTreasure hunters/colle
 ctors (avocational metal detectorists) have extensively used metal detecto
 rs for some time and those unenlightened activities have tainted their les
 s destructive scientific and pedagogical applications. When used in a syst
 ematic and controlled manner\, metal detectors of quality may have particu
 larly insightful results in many archaeological situations in conjunction 
 with\, and over and above\, current/traditional survey and excavation sche
 mes. \n This presentation will de-mystify the technologies and the machine
 ry and will further demonstrate their simple use and applications\, with a
 n emphasis on simple\, uncomplicated\, and the immediate use of the equipm
 ent. The proper and efficient archaeological usage of the equipment will b
 e demonstrated using a recent case study where extensive standard test pit
 s (STPs) were first used and then similarly systematic metal detecting was
  subsequently utilized on the same site. An additional case study will dem
 onstrate the effectiveness of using hobbyist metal detectorists in archaeo
 logical projects.\nMark Michael Ludlow M.A. RPA\, is currently a Ph.D. stu
 dent in Archaeology at The School of Archaeology\, History and Anthropolog
 y at The University of Wales - Trinity Saint David\, Wales\, in the United
  Kingdom.  He also has a B.A. in anthropology from Drew University\, an M.
 A. with Merit in archaeology from The University of Leicester\, Leicesters
 hire\, England. Mark is also a registered professional archaeologist (RPA)
  and an AMDA Certified Metal Detectorist.\nHe has had experience in Easter
 n Woodlands archaeology\, historic archaeology\, the archaeology of histor
 ic standing buildings\, Pre-Columbian Caribbean ornitho-archaeology\, and 
 is a member of the Alexandria Archaeological Commission. \nThe illustrated
  lecture is sponsored by the Friends of Alexandria Archaeology and light r
 efreshments will be served.\n\n\nLocation: Alexandria Archaeology Museum\,
