Archaeologists have discovered more than 3,000 historical sites and monuments in the New Forest thanks to Lidar (Light Detecting and Ranging). The technique beams harmless lasers into the ground to build a 3D map, revealing the hidden history of the New Forest including a Roman road and prehistoric pits and mounds. The discoveries have been made thanks to the Verderers of the New Forest Higher Level Stewardship Scheme. The 10 year project is a partnership between the Verderers, the Forestry Commission and the New Forest National Park Authority, to protect and enhance internationally-important landscapes in the Forest.

How has LiDAR technology been used to uncover secret archaeology hidden beneath woodlands in the South Downs National Park. Secrets of the High Woods project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and led by the South Downs National Park Authority in partnership with Chichester District Council and English Heritage.
In our interview with Douglas Preston, New York Times best-selling author, we learn how he and his archaeological team on Honduras used LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging, an alternative to radar using lasers) to detect the location of the Lost City of the Monkey God. They then went on foot to confirm their findings and discovered not just the lost city, but a civilization lost to time. Get your copy of the book: https://cat5.tv/monkeygod
Meet the CSU explorers who are using aircraft packed with laser technology to reveal lost cities and the forgotten past. Drawing on examples of their work from Mexico and Honduras CSU researchers Christopher Fisher and Stephen Leisz who are discussing how new applications of remote sensing, such as LiDAR technology, are revolutionizing the field of archaeology. Partnering with local companies, non-profit organizations, and international agencies these CSU scientists are developing innovative ways to record cultural and natural heritage in areas long left unexplored due to the dense forests and complicated terrain of the areas where the sites are located; conditions which have long hindered on the ground exploration. Their presentation illustrates what the technologies are, how they are...
Welcome to Aspects of Archaeology. In this series we take a closer look at different aspects of the world of archaeology. Today we take a look at LiDar.

This video is a presentation by Dr Michel Assenbaum, CEO of L'Avion Jaune. Michel presents an acquisition made using the YellowScan Mapper in the Ardennes forest in France, on an old battlefield of World War I. Under the vegetation, the LiDAR is able to unveil trenches, embankments, former roads or buildings, as well as explosion marks. L'Avion Jaune is a french company that has provided operational aerial imagery services since 2005. The principal sectors that take advantage of their expertise in very high-resolution and multispectral products are agronomy, precision agriculture, environmental research and infrastructure management. YellowScan develops tools for UAV Mapping. With our latest system, the Surveyor LiDAR Scanning system adapted for UAV surveying, you can gather in a few mi...
http://www.undergroundworldnews.com The ancient fortress site of Tiahuanaco (Tiwanaku) in western Bolivia is still revealing secrets thousands of years after its peak as capital of an empire, and home to one of the most important civilizations prior to the Inca. Archaeologists from the Tiahuanaco Archeological Research Center have discovered an underground pyramid at the site using ground-penetrating radar. According to Fox News Latino, the Bolivian government has announced excavations are set to begin this summer on the new find at the Kantatallita area of Tiahuanaco, 71 kilometers (44 miles) west of La Paz. Using ground-penetrating radar, researchers also have reportedly found “underground anomalies” which they suspect might be monoliths, but further analysis will be carried out before...
