Just joined this wild new federated world, time for an #introduction
I'm a landscape archaeologist by training, with specializations in #medieval and #postmedieval #archaeology in #Greece and #GIS . I love maps so much that I became a GIS librarian!
Other interests (in no particular order):
#programming
#python
#remotesensing
#satellites
#spacearchaeology
#webmapping
#opendata
#openaccess
#foss
#libraries
#metadata
Not everyday that you identify a hitherto unrecognised class of archaeological site. I present to you, the workings from which materials to build #river #embankments were extracted. Shallow, sub-rectangular cuttings. Three examples I identified today at #Fiskerton #Rolleston and #Staythorpe on the #RiverTrent #Notinghamshire. Interesting, one working per #parish, suggesting #local #community involvement. Ground #photographs with #LiDAR plots. #Archaeology #PostMedieval
Shadows in low, raking sunlight emphasise the substantial #earthwork boundaries (15m high x up to 10m wide) between 2-3 hectare #BronzeAge / #RomanoBritish #fields that extend up to 600m across the N-facing slopes of Burderop Down, Wilts. The field system is overlain by a #PostMedieval earthwork enclosure - perhaps a #SheepFold. Today’s happiness.
