Overview
Background to the Project
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 Digital Archive
The digital archive is an integral part of the reporting process and comprises all files generated in electronic format generated during the course of the project, and for which permissions have been granted for deposit.
The archive contains the following reports:
- Challis, K., AJ Howard, M Kincey, 2008. Airborne Remote Sensing of Aggregate Landscapes. HP Vista Unpublished Report
The report is divided into eight sections. Section one provides general introductory material relating to the study area and instruments used; section two outlines the research methods employed; section three discusses the principles and practice of remote sensing of alluvial geoarchaeology; section four discusses results from the Daedalus ATM 1268 sensor; section five discusses results from the CASI sensor and section six those from the AISA Eagle sensor.
