 | | | | Tracing and collecting the data of historic sites forms the basis of all archeological research. Detailed documentation of excavations and relics is an extremely important activity, but one which is very time-consuming with conventional fieldwork.
Compared with other measuring systems, the airborne laserscanning method has the advantage of acquiring the data of archeologically interesting sites swiftly, over a large area and with high precision. Even the smallest elevations and structures, not directly perceptible from the ground, are accurately captured and can be visually displayed in 3D presentations and relief images in an impressive way.
| | | | | The applications of laserscanning technology for the archeological preservation of monuments are as follows:
- Recordal of archeological sites such as prehistoric and early fortifications, groups of burial mounds, Roman estates and citadels, limes, strongholds and stronghold sites, historic routes
- Systematic research into archeological monuments in defined spaces (prospecting)
- Scenic reconstruction under diverse conditions
- Combination with georeferenced archeological information in a GIS
- Basis for cartography and planning
