Abstract
Total field magnetic prospection: are vertical gradiometer measurements preferable to single sensor survey?
Jeanne Tabbagh
75 - 82
When two sensors are available the prospector can use them either in a gradiometer arrangement or dispose them at the same horizontal level to record two different profiles simultaneously. The processing of one-sensor data presented here for both synthetic and actual cases gives slightly better results than gradient measurements, which is said to justify the second solution.
Aerial remote-sensing techniques used in the management of archaeological monuments on the British Army's Salisbury Plain Training Area, Wiltshire, UK
Ian Barnes
83 - 90
Salisbury Plain Training Area, covering 38,000 ha in Wiltshire, is the UK's largest military training area. Military ownership has protected, from modern agricultural practices, over 2,300 archaeological monuments dating from the late prehistoric and Romano-British periods. Consequently the majority of sites still survive as earthworks. The Defence Estates is tasked with managing this landscape, balancing military, agricultural, archaeological and nature conservation priorities within a national and international legislative framework. The Defence Estates is evaluating the use of airborne LIDAR (light detection and ranging) and CASI (compact airborne spectrographic imager) surveys to map condition, results being directly transferable to a geographical information system. It is hoped, by comparing successive surveys, that trends can be identified, allowing management decisions to be reached. Results showed that CASI imagery, particularly when processed as a normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) image, was ideal for showing bare ground, scrub and levels of grazing, whereas LIDAR provided a means of measuring the magnitude of change. The techniques were less successful at distinguishing disturbed ground such as back-filled military trenches. Combined LIDAR and CASI images were shown to be ideal media for identifying archaeological earthworks. The potential for the development of automated trend analysis was proved but manual systems were shown to be more appropriate. Development work is continuing and it is hoped to have a remote-sensing-based monitoring system in place on Salisbury Plain Training Area in the foreseeable future.
Cawthorn Camps, North Yorkshire -- a photogrammetric approach
Jane Stone
153 - 158
Cawthorn Camps is a Roman site probably dating to the late-first and early-second century, comprising two forts, one with a later annexe, and a camp. The site survives as earthworks and, within the main defences, there are many slight embanked structures. The current programme of research at Cawthorn is a joint initiative between the North York Moors National Park and English Heritage, the aim being to produce a revised management plan for this nationally important site. It is a multidisciplinary project combining the following disciplines: excavation, geophysical prospection, ground and aerial survey. Digital photogrammetry has been used to produce a plan, scale 1:500, of the earthworks to a precision of ±10 cm.
Hadrian's Wall National Mapping Programme -- a World Heritage Site from the air
Antonia Kershaw
159 - 161
A survey of Hadrian's Wall is to be undertaken by English Heritage Aerial Survey as part of the National Mapping Programme (NMP). All archaeological features visible on aerial photographs as earthworks or cropmarks will be recorded and mapped. The proposed project area is a broad band along the Roman frontier works and up to 10km wide, within which sites of all periods will be recorded. This will allow the World Heritage Site to be better understood and managed in its landscape context.
