MobileGIS in archaeological prospection in Tunisia
<p>The MR3 site, located near the Roman city of Mustis in Northern Tunisia (36°20'29.69"N, 9°7'59.47"E), was chosen as the case study for this project. This medium-sized rural settlement was identified during the AFRIPAL reconnaissance, a Polish-Tunisian project led by Tomasz Waliszewski (Faculty of Archaeology, University of Warsaw) and Jamel Hajji (L’Institut national du patrimoine).</p> <p> </p> <p>As a newly discovered site, MR3 is not yet protected by local heritage institutions, making it vulnerable to looting, uncontrolled development, and agricultural activities. The urgency to document and preserve this site digitally was a primary motivator for this project. Documenting the MR3 site provides critical insights into the rural settlement dynamics during the Roman and Byzantine periods in Tunisia, and how they continued to function in Early Islamic and Medieval periods.</p> <p> </p> <p>This project, founded by DARIAH Workflow THEME aimed to not only document the current state of the site but also to create a detailed workflow for using MobileGIS in archaeological prospection. <strong><u>The workflow developed through this project will serve as a model for other archaeologists facing similar challenges, ensuring rapid and thorough documentation of threatened archaeological sites.</u></strong></p> <p> The data set represents the results of the case study survey. It consist of:</p> <ul> <li>Presentation of the Projects results, which was shown on DARIAH 2024 ANNUAL CONFERENCE</li> <li>MR3.mpkx - ArcGIS Pro project; a GIS project of the whole MR3 site</li> <li>MR3 Survey results as csv</li> <li>MR3 Survey results as kmz</li> <li>XLSX file that contains formated question for MobileGIS Survey123 app, possibile to upload to Survey Connect</li> <li>MR3 Survey123 app questions in more readable format</li> <li>A full GIS data base with results of the survey.</li> </ul> <p>The reuslts of the survey is also avialable: <a href="https://arcg.is/1yGyzH">https://arcg.is/1yGyzH</a> and as online map <a href="https://arcg.is/1TnXDn0">https://arcg.is/1TnXDn0</a></p> <p> </p> <p>I am not able to add this information in the Funding section:</p> <p>The project <strong>"</strong><strong>MobileGIS workflow in archaeological prospection: the case study of a rural site near the Roman city of Mustis (N Tunisia)" </strong>was founded by DARIAH Workflow THEME .</p>

Database of northeastern African archaeological and heritage sites
<p>This dataset contains archaeological and heritage sites of the Marmarica region (NE-Libya/NW-Egypt) ranging from the Late Bronze to the Roman times. It has been developed in the framework of the PERAIA project, which aims to analyse the long-term history and interaction patterns along the harsh environments of north-eastern Africa. The records contain accurate geographic location of sites, including place names, typology, chronology, and metadata of documented remains, along with information regarding the environmental and ecological context. Additionally, the dataset accounts for the specificities of the region’s varying environmental conditions and their potential impact on archaeological heritage. All this information associated with each archaeological site was collected from published field data surveys, maps, archaeological reports, and it was subsequently cross-checked with historical aerial photographs and satellite imagery to detect, and to register known and unknown sites within the study area.</p>

Drone orthomosaic and digital elevation model of the Atanikerluk archaeological site in NW Greenland
<p>This dataset consists of a digital elevation model (DEM) and an orthomosaic of the Atanikerluk archaeological site (NKAH 1724), located on the Nuussuaq Peninsula in NW Greenland near the settlement of Saqqaq. The DEM and orthomosaic were produced from 612 aerial images that were acquired by a DJI Phantom 3 drone. The images were processed using Agisoft Metashape Professional (version 1.7.1) following protocols established by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) for drone surveys of coastal regions (Over et al., 2021). Five ground control points were distributed throughout the survey area. The drone survey of the Atanikerluk site was conducted as part of the Vaigat Iceberg-Microbial Oil Degradation and Archaeological Heritage Investigation (VIMOA) project, which was funded by the Danish Centre for Marine Research and supported by the Arctic Research Centre at Aarhus University, in affiliation with the National Museum of Denmark, the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, and The Greenland National Museum and Archives in Nuuk. Proper archaeological permits for the survey were obtained in advance from the Greenland National Museum and Archives in Nuuk. Walsh et al.

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 </strong>contains figures in original size (TIFF) & digital data (SHP, CSV). The data can be also found in the linked GitHub repository <a href="https://github.com/sdam-au/perachora-medit-arch/">https://github.com/sdam-au/perachora-medit-arch/</a>.</p> <p> </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 “a sporadic scatter of structures.” 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’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’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’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>
LiDAR applications in archaeology: a systematic review
<p>Here we present a systematic survey of works published in international journals in 2001–2022, with the aim of providing an annotated bibliography on the theme and collect quantitative information about each case study. Data collected allowed to analyze the geographic distribution of LiDAR-based studies, the specifics of acquisitions, the topography and vegetation cover of each study area, the characteristics of the material culture detected, major goals and integrated techniques.</p>
