#FridayLidar of the Lowland #Maya site of Ceibal, Guatemala. Excavation of a burial ground indicates the development of permanent cemeteries c.1000 BC could have been the catalyst that lead to permanent settlement and land ownership.

#FridayLidar of the #medieval Castle Kolno, Poland.
Excavating in the moat of the castle, archaeologists uncovered an amethyst set in silver gilt. Likely part of a brooch, it is a rare example of a high-status find from an everyday context.

Here's some #FridayLidar of the unrecorded Maya city of Valeriana, reported in Antiquity last year!
Hidden in the dense jungle of Campeche, Mexico, this discovery suggests the central Maya Lowlands may have been urbanised and densely settled.

Lidar of 1500-year-old Mala'e Vakapuna mound on Tongatapu, Tonga #FridayLidar
It is currently the best-dated structure in West Polynesia, and its early date suggests politically complex chiefdoms developed there before eastern islands were settled.

Lidar can famously 'see-through' vegetation to reveal the archaeology below. But it can also look through water.
Here it reveals a now-submerged stone fish trap built by Indigenous Australians at Cape Missiessy #FridayLidar

Lidar images from the 19th century settlement of Marathodi, southern Africa, showing the main centre. #FridayLidar
Combining statistical methods with ethnohistorical knowledge helps measure inequality in large southern African farming communities.

This is lidar of Cissbury Ring, an Iron Age hillfort in West Sussex and the second largest in England. It captures the pockmarks left on the hill by earlier Neolithic flint mines. #FridayLidar 1/2
LiDAR survey of one of the Tusson long mounds ๐ซ๐ท showcasing evidence of quarrying #FridayLiDAR
Antler was deposited in the quarries after their use. Radiocarbon dating placed the antler at ~4600 BC, which lines up with dates for occupation of the nearby settlement of Le Peu. 1/2
Here's an very ephemeral #earthwork on a hill in Yorkshire. A well ploughed out 50m square with 15m square 'thing' at the centre.
In an area of both #Prehistoric and #Roman activity.

Unrecorded and will remain so 'til ploughed to oblivion.

LiDAR map of the the 5th century AD Zลzan tomb group (๐ฏ๐ต). It contains one of Japan's largest mounded tombs #FridayLiDAR
The possible existence of a moat around the largest mound suggests wide political connections across the region.

A #BronzeAge burial ground in Bosnia discovered using #LiDAR
Grave goods sourced from as far away as Greece suggest that the inhabitants of the cemetary had far-reaching connections.

The contemporary urban layout of the Old Town in #ลwidnica, PL. I really enjoy using #LiDAR data for mapping cities. It's a nice change from constantly staring at hillforts and burial mounds. ;) #FridayLidar
