About the Program:
Archaeological field methods vary widely due to resources, research questions, regions and other rationales. This presentation focuses on the use of hand-held light detecting and ranging (LiDAR) as a non-invasive field method for assessing and documenting the surface signature of archaeological sites. A number of examples are discussed that span the prehistoric and historic time periods in the State of Iowa. Attendees will join in the discussion to learn how archaeologists are employing LiDAR data in search of new insights to the past.
