Data and scripts for the paper Building a Low-cost UAV-based LiDAR Sensor for Landscape Archaeology

<p>This repository contains the modified OpenMMS scripts for Linux and Raspberry Pi firmware for LiDAR sensor presented in the paper Building a Low-cost UAV-based LiDAR Sensor for Landscape Archaeology at the CAA 2024 conference in Auckland, New Zealand. Included are the LiDAR and trajectory data collected at the site of Antiochia ad Cragum in 2022 in an area roughly north-east of what is known as the Small Bath Area. Each zip file contains two adjacent flights oriented either principally east-west or north-south. The four flights cover the same area in an overlapping pattern.</p> <p>The LiDAR and trajectory data are released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license and the modified OpenMMS firmware and scripts are released under the original GNU GPL v3.0 or later license.</p>

Surface Survey and Legacy Data in the Upper Plain of the Heraion of Perachora: The Perachora Peninsula Archaeological Project 2020 [Digital Supplement with updated polygons from 2020]

<p><strong>The digital Supplement&nbsp;</strong>contains figures in original size (TIFF) &amp; digital data (SHP, CSV). The data can be also found in the linked GitHub repository&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/sdam-au/perachora-medit-arch/">https://github.com/sdam-au/perachora-medit-arch/</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>The Perachora Peninsula Archaeological Project held its first season of intensive surface survey from 12 January to 2 February 2020, during which time we focused on the region called the Upper Plain, situated above the sanctuary of Hera, which was in use from the 8th to the 2nd century BC. The nature of this area has been disputed, with Humfry Payne seeing it as a substantial town, while Richard Tomlinson referred to it as &ldquo;a sporadic scatter of structures.&rdquo; In order to clarify the nature of the settlement we employed a two-pronged effort: first to verify and document the legacy data in Tomlinson&rsquo;s plan of the area, and second to conduct intensive surface survey from the boundary of the sanctuary to Lake Vouliagmeni. Within three weeks, our teams measured, photographed, and took the coordinates of nearly all the structures on Tomlinson&rsquo;s plan, which included domestic structures, a small temple, and an extensive waterworks system, and several that had not been previously recorded. Building A 1 and the Fountain House were cleared and recorded using photogrammetry. The survey&rsquo;s finds informed our legacy data verification efforts. Densities across all land types were high: nearly 23,000 artefacts were counted, and all but nine survey units produced artefacts. A preliminary analysis of the ceramics indicates a consistent habitation from the Archaic through the Classical period. Concentrations of miniature votives and fine wares were also found on hillsides, possibly indicating open-air shrines. Our work also highlights the need to conserve the structures in the Upper Plain.</p>

Raw data for analysis of archaeological macrolithic tools

<p>The file includes data describing typology and morphometric and raw material characteristics of archaeological collections composed of macrolithic stone tools with a cutting edge. The finds are dated to the Neolithic period in Poland. The file also includes location data of the archaeological sites attributed to the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Iron Age in SW Poland. The collections are held at the University of Wrocław and the Polish Academy of Science. The collected data was used to study the biography and circulation of metabasite-made tools based on usewear method.</p>

Faunal remains data from Paleolithic to early Iron Age archaeological sites in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China

<p>According to published archaeological sources, zooarchaeological data collection on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its marginal and transitional areas is inadequate, and relevant datasets have not been published. For this reason, we collected and collated relevant information. Our database provides the geographical location, elevation, cultural type and faunal assemblage of each site on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its periphery for which zooarchaeological data have been published from the Paleolithic to the Early Iron Age. The patterns of human faunal resource use, habitat patterns, and animal abundance and spatial distribution on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its surrounding areas during the Prehistoric-Early Iron Age are represented in this dataset. The data provide a reference for further understanding&nbsp;prehistoric-early Iron Age human behavior, subsistence patterns and material and cultural exchanges between East and West on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its environs.</p>

Data from: Mapping Tasmania's cultural landscapes: using habitat suitability modelling of archaeological sites as a landscape history tool

Aim: Understanding past distributions of people across the landscape is key to understanding how people used, affected and related to the natural environment. Here we use habitat suitability modelling to represent the landscape distribution of Tasmanian Aboriginal archaeological sites and assess the implications for patterns of past human activity. Location: Tasmania, Australia Methods: We developed a RandomForest 'habitat suitability' model of site records in the Tasmanian Aboriginal Heritage Register. We applied a best-effort bias correction, considered 31 predictor variables relating to climate, topography and resource proximity, and used a variable selection procedure to optimise the final model. Model uncertainty was assessed via bootstrapping and we ran an analogous MAXENT model as a cross-validation exercise. Results: The results from the RandomForest and MAXENT models are highly congruent. The strongest environmental predictors of site occurrence include distance to coast, elevation, soil clay content, topographic roughness and distance to inland water. The highest habitat suitability scores are distributed across a wide range of environments in central, northern and eastern Tasmania, including coastal areas, inland water body margins, and forests and savannas in the drier parts of Tasmania. With the exception of coastal areas much of western Tasmania has low habitat suitability scores, consistent with theories of low-density Holocene Tasmanian Aboriginal settlement in this region. Main conclusions: Our modelling suggests Tasmanian Aboriginal people occupied a heterogeneity of habitats but targeted coastal areas around the whole island, and drier, less steep, and/or open forest and savanna environments in the central lowlands. The western interior was identified as being rarely used by Aboriginal people in the Holocene, with the exception of isolated pockets of habitat; yet whether this is a true reflection of Aboriginal resource use demands increased archaeological surveys, particularly in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.

Data from: Tracing the trans-Pacific evolutionary history of a domesticated seaweed (Gracilaria chilensis) with archaeological and genetic data

The history of a domesticated marine macroalga is studied using archaeological, phylogeographic and population genetic tools. Phylogeographic and population genetic analyses demonstrated that the cultivated red alga Gracilaria chilensis colonised the Chilean coast from New Zealand. Combining archaeological observations with phylogeographic data provided evidence that exchanges between New Zealand and Chile have occurred at least before the Holocene, likely at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and we suggest that migration probably occurred via rafting. Furthermore, the remarkably low microsatellite diversity found in the Chilean populations compared to those in New Zealand is consistent with a recent genetic bottleneck as a result of over-exploitation of natural populations and/or the process of domestication. Therefore, the aquaculture of this seaweed, based essentially on clonal propagation, is occurring from genetically depressed populations and may be driving the species to an extinction vortex in Chile.
