The aim is to help archaeologists, researchers and those who manage the historic environment to decide first, whether using lidar data will actually be beneficial in terms of their research aims, and second, how the data can be used effectively. The guidance will be most useful to those who have access to data that have already been commissioned, or are planning to commission lidar for a specific purpose. They also provide an introduction to data interpretation in order to separate archaeological and non-archaeological features.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Although important themes are introduced, this guidance are not intended as a definitive explanation of the technique or the complexities of acquiring and processing the raw data, particularly as this is a still developing technology. This document is intended to complement \u003ci\u003e3D Laser Scanning for Heritage\u003c\/i\u003e, which covers a wider range of uses of laser scanning for heritage purposes (Historic England 2018).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This Guidance is a revision of \u003ci\u003eThe Light Fantastic: Using Airborne Lidar in Archaeological Survey\u003c\/i\u003e published by English Heritage in 2010. The text has largely been maintained except for certain areas where major changes have occurred in the ensuing years. This is particularly true with regard to increased access to data and the wide range of visualisation techniques now available. The case studies have also been updated to reflect more recent survey activity and to include examples from outside Historic England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Lidar and archaeology\u003cbr\u003e Deciding to use lidar\u003cbr\u003e Using lidar\u003cbr\u003e Woodland survey\u003cbr\u003e Conclusions\u003cbr\u003e Case studies\u003cbr\u003e Decision tree\u003cbr\u003e Further resources\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Further reading\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic England","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043010937175,"sku":"9781848025479","price":35.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781848025479.jpg?v=1750956646","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/using-airborne-lidar-in-archaeological-survey-the-light-fantastic-9781848025479","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
