Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper describes a new archaeological prospection technique for wetlands. High-resolution micro-topographical data generated in GPS surveys were processed to form continuous topographic digital surfaces. Through the generalization and exaggeration of these surfaces within ESRI ARC/INFO GIS software, buried archaeological features in wetland landscapes were identified. A subsequent programme of ground truthing has demonstrated that patterns of differential desiccation of wetland sediments have resulted in micro-topographical variation, reflecting archaeological features. The study was undertaken on two Iron Age sites: Sutton Common in the Humber wetlands and Meare Village East in the Somerset Levels. | |||||||||
