Current practice and experience; and future potential
Call for Papers
Chairs: James EOGAN (Transport Infrastructure Ireland) | Paul O’KEEFFEE (Transport Infrastructure Ireland) | Dave COWLEY (Historic Environment Scotland)
Keywords: LiDAR, cultural heritage, impact assessment, practice
Largescale infrastructure projects in the transport, energy generation and energy transmission sectors across Europe are acquiring high-resolution LiDAR datasets. Such datasets are being made available to archaeologists for the purposes of cultural heritage impact assessment. Models derived from LiDAR datasets are a powerful tool for characterising the historic environment and identifying previously undocumented elements within the landscape. It is intended that this session will be an opportunity for practitioners to discuss:
- case studies where LiDAR has been used to assess the cultural heritage impact of largescale infrastructure projects
- innovations in terms of different approaches taken to modelling, visualising, and presentation of the analysis LiDAR-derived datasets
- practical issues such as data management, validating results and implications for management of the historic environment
- research and future potential developments
Target audience: researchers in third level and industry, managers/curators of state, regional and local authorities, archaeological consultants
