ANT200Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Aerial Photography, Satellite Imagery, Rooster Teeth
Document Summary
The arrival of miners in this site created a boom in population. Alongside the diamonds there were numerous amounts of stone tools. First site in south africa that early human presence was seen. The paper which states all of the info on the artifact will live with that artifact forever. Photogrammetry: take a photo of something in various angles, creates a 3d image of the object. You can add drones to photogrammetry and it can creates amazing images. The key of context, if something is found in situ, is incredibly important. The strata is what tells you how old something is (context v v v important) Recording where things are found with as much detail as possible is important. A survey is looing at the ground a recording your findings. Random- stratified: sampling each zone in an area. Iterative (bayesian) : build your sampling strategy as you go along. Satellite imagery: wildly used: ground penetrating radar, magnetometry.
