A Cross-Section of Results from the 2015 Lidar Campaign - CALI
▻http://angkorlidar.org/2016/05/cross-section-results-2015-campaign
The lidar company (PT McElhanney Indonesia) who did our acquisition for CALI did a completely separate acquisition in Preah Vihear Province under the administrative purview of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, which happily coincides with several areas that saw iron mining and smelting during the Angkor period (and perhaps before and after). They were kind enough to let us analyse the data for archaeological remains, and it turns out that ancient iron-working sites have an extremely clear signature in the lidar data, even though the data quality (density of points) is about a quarter of what we’d normally order for an archaeological project.
