Preliminary Results of the Rural Landscapes of Iron Age Imperial Mesopotamia Project’s 2022–2023 Seasons at Qach Rresh (Kurdistan Region of Iraq)
This article presents the preliminary results of investigations at the site of Qach Rresh on the Erbil Plain of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, conducted by the Rural Landscapes of Iron Age Imperial Mesopotamia project (RLIIM). The site of Qach Rresh is estimated to have been founded in the mid–eighth century B.C.E., at the height of the Assyrian Empire, and continued to be utilised in varying capacity until the onset of the Hellenistic period ( c.…
Archaeology as Cultural Heritage in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Cultural heritage in the Middle East has over the past decades been treated and discussed in terms of an unfolding catastrophe. International archaeologists have responded with a set of emergency measures that include the remote monitoring of site conditions, the exposing of the trade in illicit antiquities, and the provision of technical assistance and training for the conservation, reconstruction, and monitoring of monuments and sites. These in…
Mapping Ancient Architecture via Unpiloted Aerial Vehicle-acquired LiDAR
At present there is no systematic record of the size, form or density of architecture at Hawaiian royal centres. We report on the results of a UAV LiDAR survey of one of the best-preserved examples of a royal centre in the archipelago: Hōlualoa Royal Centre, Kona District, Hawai'i Island. The resolution of our data (0.3-0.1 m) is far superior to previous airborne LiDAR surveys (1.0 m); however, several factors, including thick understory vegetati…
Exploring archaeological landscapes using drone-acquired lidar
Reconstructing agro-pastoral practice in the Mesopotamian-Zagros borderlands
Unpiloted Aerial Vehicle Acquired Lidar for Mapping Monumental Architecture
As lidar becomes a regular part of surveying, ground-based platforms (handheld, mobile, and terrestrial lidar) and airborne platforms (piloted aircraft) are being joined by unpiloted aerial vehicle (UAV)–acquired lidar. We present a method for leveraging UAV-acquired lidar data with data collected using different lidar platforms (terrestrial and piloted aircraft), at a range of resolutions (1 to +1,000 points per m 2 ) and geographic scales. We u…
A Council Circle at Etzanoa? Multi-sensor Drone Survey at an Ancestral Wichita Settlement in Southeastern Kansas
This article presents results of a multi-sensor drone survey at an ancestral Wichita archaeological site in southeastern Kansas, originally recorded in the 1930s and believed by some scholars to be the location of historical 'Etzanoa,' a major settlement reportedly encountered by Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate in 1601. We used high-resolution, drone-acquired thermal and multispectral (color and near-infrared) imagery, alongside publicly avail…
A New Era in Spatial Data Recording
Archaeologists have long recognized that precise three-dimensional coordinates are critical for recording objects and features across sites and landscapes. Traditionally, for relatively small areas, an optical transit or, more recently, an electronic distance measurement device (EDM) has been used to acquire these three-dimensional points. While effective, such systems have significant limitations in that they require a clear line of site. Real-t…
Babylonian Encounters in the Upper Diyala River Valley
Kassite Babylonia counts among the great powers of the Late Bronze Age Near East. Its kings exchanged diplomatic letters with the pharaohs of Egypt and held their own against their Assyrian and Elamite neighbors. Babylonia's internal workings, however, remain understood in their outlines only, as do its elite's expansionary ambitions, the degrees to which they may have been realized, and the nature of ensuing imperial encounters. This is especial…
Satellite imagery-based monitoring of archaeological site damage in the Syrian civil war
Since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, the rich archaeological heritage of Syria and northern Iraq has faced severe threats, including looting, combat-related damage, and intentional demolition of monuments. However, the inaccessibility of the conflict zone to archaeologists or cultural heritage specialists has made it difficult to produce accurate damage assessments, impeding efforts to develop mitigation strategies and policies. This …
