I LEARNT A GREAT DEAL IN THIS WORKSHOP. THESE LAST THREE MONTHS HAVE BEEN AMAZING. MANY, MANY THANKS TO LARRY FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME DOING THIS. I ENJOYED BEING A GRAD STUDENT AGAIN!
• I ALSO WANT TO EXPRESS MY ENORMOUS GRATITUDE TO LARRY. THIS WORKSHOP CHANGED (IMPROVED) MY LIFE, NOT ONLY PROFESSIONALLY BUT ALSO PERSONALLY, IN A VERY SURPRISING WAY THAT I HAD NEVER IMAGINED BEFORE. IN THESE 3 MONTHS I WAS ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO FRIDAY TO HAVE THESE MEETINGS. NOW, MAKING A COMPILATION OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED, I REALIZE THAT MANY TIMES WE FEEL IN A SEPARATE WORLD BUT THAT IN REALITY THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE LIKE US AND FINALLY SOMEONE (LARRY) HAD THE COURAGE TO MEET US.
• IN THIS LAST ZOOM MEETING, WE LAUGHED A LOT MORE THAN AT ANY MEETING BEFORE. MAYBE BECAUSE WE ARE SAD AND TRYING TO HIDE OUR FEELINGS. I DO NOT HAVE WORDS TO DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS NOW. LARRY, THANK YOU FOR ANY MINUTE YOU SPENT TEACHING US GPR. TODAY, I AM A NEW PERSON WHO CAN UNDERSTAND HOW GPR WORKS. MY VIEW ON THE INTERPRETATION OF GPR REFLECTIONS IS DEVELOPED. ALL THAT BECAUSE OF YOU. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I GET FROM THIS WORKSHOP IS ALL OF YOU. I MEET NEW WONDERFUL PEOPLES AND WORKED WITH THEM FOR THREE MONTHS. THANKS LARRY TO GIVE ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPANT IN THIS WORKSHOP.
• THANK YOU FOR ORGANIZING THIS. IT HAS BEEN WONDERFULLY INSTRUCTIVE, AND I HAVE LEARNT MORE THAN I EVER IMAGINED THERE WAS TO LEARN. IT HAS ALSO BEEN GREAT TO FINALLY FEEL LIKE I AM PART OF A GPR COMMUNITY AFTER FLOUNDERING AROUND ON MY OWN. I APPRECIATE THIS GROUP ON MANY LEVELS!
• I’M VERY PROUD, HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR ALL THAT I LEARNED AND NOT ONLY ON MY OWN TOOLBOX BUT ALL THE GPR-RELATED CONCEPTS (ON BOTH WHICH I FEEL NOW MORE SELF-CONFIDENT AND INTERESTED TO GO DEEPER): IT HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC DIDACTIC EXPERIENCE OF LEARNING BY DOING WHICH I HADN’T DONE SINCE MY EARLIER STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING AND NOT IN ALL MY PHD AND POSTDOC EXPERIENCES IN GEOPHYSICS.
• ESPECIALLY OUR LAST SESSION WAS REALLY AMAZING AND SHOCKING IF COMPARED FROM WHERE WE STARTED, ESPECIALLY THE PART OF THE SEDIMENTARY FILLING OF THE CAVE… SHOWING HOW REALITY CAN BE FAR FROM STANDARD INTERPRETATIONS, SOMETIMES (OTHERWISE THEY SHOULDN’T BE STANDARD OR COMMON!).
• IT’S BEEN A REAL PLEASURE, AND I HAVE GOTTEN A MUCH BETTER GRASP ON HOW TO USE GPR FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS, WHICH IN TURN WILL LEAD TO GETTING BETTER AT INTERPRETATION. I AM VERY IMPRESSED BY THE RESULTS, APPLICATION AND ANALYSES PRESENTED BY ALL THE PARTICIPANTS. WELL DONE EVERYONE!
• I HAVE VERY MUCH ENJOYED THIS WORKSHOP EVERY FRIDAY. IT HAS GIVEN US FOOD FOR THOUGHT OVER THE WINTER MONTHS. I HAVE LEARNT A GREAT DEAL FROM THE ‘MASTER’. I HAVE LEARNT NEW WAYS TO ANALYSE AND INTERPRET THE DATA USING OTHER SOFTWARE THAN I KNEW.
• TODAY IS OUR LAST DAY AND I WILL MISS OUR INTERACTIONS ON LOOKING AT THE HOMEWORK YOU HAVE PROVIDED US WITH. THIS HAS BEEN CHALLENGING BUT HAS REAPED ITS REWARDS AS WELL BY UNDERSTANDING HOW TO ACHIEVE THE RESULTS AND LOOKING AT THE DATA IN NEW WAYS.ARRY FOR GIVING UP HIS TIME AND ORGANIZING THIS VENTURE. IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO PARTICIPATE AND TO BE PUSHED TO EXPLORE DATA IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND FROM DIFFERENT SETTINGS. THE COURSE HAS BEEN INVALUABLE, AND I HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF GPR PROCESSING AND THEREFORE INTERPRETATION AND I ALREADY IMPLEMENTING THE KNOWLEDGE IN RECENT SURVEYS. EXPERIENCING DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND WHAT THEY PRODUCE HAS ALSO BEEN VERY INTERESTING, WHILE GETTING A FULL KNOWLEDGE OF LARRY’S PROGRAM HAS BEEN FANTASTIC.
• THANK YOU, LARRY, FOR LETTING ME JOIN IN THIS WORKSHOP, I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN’T HAVE ANY BACKGROUND IN ARCHEOLOGY OR GEOLOGY, BUT I LEARNED SO MANY THINGS FROM YOU AND THE OTHERS. WHEN WE STARTED THIS WORKSHOP, I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME TO FINISH, BUT UNFORTUNATELY TODAY IT’S FINISHED LIKE “SPEED OF LIGHT”.
• THANK YOU, LARRY, YOU’VE DONE AN INCREDIBLE SERVICE TO ALL OF US IN MAKING THIS WORKSHOP AVAILABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS, YOU’VE PROVIDED MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF DATASETS FOR US TO EXPLORE AND TALK ABOUT GPR. YOU GAVE ME AN APPRECIATION FOR ALL ASPECTS OF GPR, DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES THAT I HADN’T CONSIDERED, AND KNOWLEDGE AND CONFIDENCE TO APPROACH THE DATA IN A MORE OPEN/LESS FRIGID WAY. I LEARNED AN IMMENSE AMOUNT, AND REALLY ENJOYED THE DIFFERENT DATASETS, LISTENING TO OTHERS, AND THE PROCESS ITSELF
• LINKING UP WITH EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD HAS BEEN GREAT AND I HOPE WE CONTINUE TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH EACH OTHER. BEYOND GPR WORKSHOP ‘LARRY STYLE’, THIS WILL BE GREAT TO CONTINUE WITH OTHERS WHO WISH TO JOIN OUR GET TOGETHER EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS OR ONCE A MONTH AND HOPEFULLY LARRY WILL BE ABLE TO JOIN US.
• LARRY, THIS COURSE HAS BEEN A REVELATION. I’VE GONE FROM BEING A GUY WHO USED SOME BASIC FILTERS BECAUSE I READ ABOUT THEM SOMEWHERE TO MAKE SLICE MAPS THAT I LOOKED AT FOR POSSIBLE ARCHAEOLOGICAL PATTERNS. THEN I BECAME SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AT INDIVIDUAL PROFILES, HAS A VOCABULARY TO DESCRIBE THEM, CAN UNDERSTAND HOW ACTUAL FEATURES IN THE GROUND MIGHT BE PRODUCING THE PROFILES, FILTERING BASED ON WHAT ACTUALLY NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED (LESS MIGHT BE BETTER WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SEEING), AND PRODUCING SLICE MAPS THAT I CAN RELATE TO EXPECTED FEATURES AND NOT JUST PATTERNS OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN. AND NOW, THIS WEEK, I AM A GUY WHO CAN LOOK AT AN INDIVIDUAL TRACE AND SEE USEFUL STUFF LIKE PHASE CHANGES AND KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN.
• THANKS TO L.
