Automated classification metrics for energy modelling of residential buildings in the UK with open algorithms
Estimating residential building energy use across large spatial extents is vital for identifying and testing effective strategies to reduce carbon emissions and improve urban sustainability. This task is underpinned by the availability of accurate models of building stock from which appropriate parameters may be extracted. For example, the form of a building, such as whether it is detached, semi-detached, terraced etc. and its shape may be used a…
Assessment of the CMD Mini‐Explorer, a New Low‐frequency Multi‐coil Electromagnetic Device, for Archaeological Investigations
In this article we assess the abilities of a new electromagnetic (EM) system, the CMD Mini‐Explorer, for prospecting of archaeological features in Ireland and the UK. The Mini‐Explorer is an EM probe which is primarily aimed at the environmental/geological prospecting market for the detection of pipes and geology. It has long been evident from the use of other EM devices that such an instrument might be suitable for shallow soil studies and appli…
A vision for Open Archaeology
By unblocking knowledge bottle-necks and enhancing collaborative and creative input ‘open’ approaches have the potential to revolutionize science, humanities and arts. ‘Open’ has captured the Zeitgeist, but what is it all about? Is it about providing clear and transparent access to knowledge objects: data, theories and knowledge (open access, open data, open methods, open knowledge)? Is it about providing similar access to knowledge acquisition p…
Late Cenozoic surface uplift revealed by incision by the River Euphrates at Birecik, southeast Turkey
Evaluation of Corona and Ikonos high resolution satellite imagery for archaeological prospection in western Syria
Satellite surveys in Syria have made use of imagery recorded some 30 years apart. By comparing the earlier pictures (Corona) with the later (Ikonos), sites captured on the former can be accurately located by the latter. The comparison also reveals the stark implications for archaeology as large parts of west Asian landscape change from a state of 'benign neglect' to active redevelopment. Based on their experience in the Homs survey, the authors h…
Satellite imagery as a resource in the prospection for archaeological sites in central Syria
Both IKONOS and CORONA satellite imagery are currently being employed by the research project Settlement and Landscape Development in the Homs Region, Syria, as the primary deskbased means of detecting non‐tell archaeological sites, a category that has generally been underrepresented in traditional tell‐centered surveys in the Middle East. Satellite imagery provides a highly effective means of prospecting for ancient settlement remains on the mar…
Settlement and Landscape Development in the Homs Region, Syria. Report on Work Undertaken during 2001–2003
This report presents a summary of the methods and some preliminary results of fieldwork by an interdisciplinary research team studying the landscape history of the upper Orontes Valley near Homs in western Syria. The particular focus of the project is to document long-term interrelationships between settlement and landscape in two adjacent but divergent regions. Geomorphological fieldwork on the Pleistocene and Holocene environments is considered…
Settlement and Landscape Development in the Homs Region, Syria
This report describes the results of the first and second seasons of field work by an interdisciplinary research team studying the landscape history of the upper Orontes Valley near Homs in western Syria. Initial discussions address the value of survey data to Syrian archaeology, the research aims of the project and describe the survey area. The project methodology, which includes a combination of both extensive and intensive survey methods, is o…
Corona satellite photography
The declassification of CORONA high-resolution space photography has made a valuable new resource available for the study of ancient landscapes. Using a recent case-study from Syria, examples are given of various ways in which CORONA imagery can significantly enhance regional survey work
