(Reporter 51, August 2004) The full range of Leica Geosystems' instruments - GS20, TPS, GPS, HDS as well as
ERDAS software - are currently being used by a group of archaeology students to
uncover the past of Tutbury Castle. The castle, located in the heart of England,
dates back to 1070 when it was built for one of William the Conqueror's Barons.
The excavations of the tower ramparts and medieval walls are being carried out by
a group of 20 students from The University of Birmingham, under the guidance of
Archaeologist / Research Fellow at the university's Institute of Archaeology and
Antiquity, Glynn Barratt.
