About
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey is an excellent way of capturing surface data over entire landscapes. It is possible to identify previously unrecorded sites, determine the full extent of known archaeological sites and monitor the condition of monuments. Archaeologists use it to map topography, plan excavations, and spot archaeological sites they’d never be able to see with the naked eye.ms rca
Michael Parker will describe how, out of pure curiosity, he started to analyse LiDAR maps of our local area to see if he could find ‘new’ archaeology. The talk is about the sites that he has found, the mistakes along the way, his ventures into aerial photography and then archaeology.
Doors will open at 7pm to give you time to have a drink, a cake and a chat!
