Profile

Ulrike Fornwagner studied Classical Archaeology as well as Prehistoric and Early Historic Archaeology. Since 2014, she has been leading the Aerial Archive at the Department of Prehistoric and Historical Archaeology of the University of Vienna. Her particular interests focus on aerial archaeology and the integrated archaeological interpretation of prospection data. Her projects include the systematic aerial archaeological survey and interpretation of archaeological landscapes in Austria, for example of northern and central Burgenland, the Leitha region, the area of the Roman town of Carnuntum and the Dachstein massif, as well as the digital archiving of extensive survey data from southeast Crete and developing the data management strategy and GIS-based database of the Aerial Archive, APIS (Archaeological Prospection Information System). She is a member of AARG (https://aargonline.com) and of the scientific board of ETEOKPHTH (https://www.eteokriti.at).
