  • How to cite using this DOI

    • Digital Object Identifiers

    Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are persistent identifiers which can be used to consistently and accurately reference digital objects and/or content. The DOIs provide a way for the ADS resources to be cited in a similar fashion to traditional scholarly materials. More information on DOIs at the ADS can be found on our help page.

    Citing this DOI

    DOIs should be the last element in a citation irrespective of the format used. The DOI citation should begin with "doi:" in lowercase followed by the DOI with no spaces between the ":" and the DOI.

    doi:10.5284/1000034

    DOIs can also be cited as a persistent link from another Web page. This is done by appending the DOI Resolver with the DOI. This would look like:

    http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000034

    However, if it is possible it is best to hide the URL in the href property of the <a> tag and have the link text be of the form doi:10.5284/1000034. The HTML for this would look like:

    <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000034">doi:10.5284/1000034</a>

Introduction

Introduction page image

The research for this project is led by Mr Keith Challis (HP Vista Centre) and Dr Andy J Howard (Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity) both University of Birmingham with funding from the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund as administered by English Heritage.

This project investigated the potential of multispectral and hyperspectral methods of airborne remote sensing (RS) for the prospection of cultural, environmental and geoarchaeological remains in river valley floors. The project undertook systematic examination of Daedalus 1268 Airborne Thematic Mapper (ATM) and Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) multispectral data. AISA Eagle hyperspectral data for a small area were also examined. Work focused on the archaeologically rich, well documented aggregate landscapes of the middle Trent Valley, Nottinghamshire.

The project contributes towards Trent Valley GeoArchaeology, a group of organisations and individuals with interests and involvement in the archaeology and palaeoenvironments of the Trent Valley, the River Trent and its tributaries.
