Abstract: |
The survey comprised a UAV photogrammetric and photographic survey, supported by ground-based photography. A photogrammetric orthomosaic and panoramic images were created from the photography to provide visual information on the site. A multispectral photographic survey was undertaken to see if any previously unknown archaeological features could be identified. The existing LiDAR dataset was re-examined, and additional visualisation methodologies employed, to determine whether additional hitherto unknown or unrecognised archaeological features could be identified, to better define known features, and to allow for the creation of topographic maps. The results of the visual and metric survey have enhanced the understanding of the Withington Roman Villa site. The detailed 3D visualisations and topographic maps show how the archaeological features exist in relation to the wider landscape. The orthographic and panoramic images have provided texture and context to these plans, to aid remote visualisation.
The results of the geophysical survey have been strengthened by the re-examination of the LiDAR data and the assessment of multispectral imagery, which has identified previously undetected discrete raised earthwork features. This combination of remote sensing techniques can be used to inform further archaeological investigation at the site. |
