Wessex Archaeology surveyed a 1,500 square meter embankment and coal tips along the Lydney Canal in July 2023. The archive contains results from a photogrammetric and laser scan survey commissioned for this work. The data likely captures detailed three-dimensional terrain features of the southern bank.
Use Cases
- Create 3D terrain models based on photogrammetric survey data
- Analyze embankment erosion or stability based on laser scan elevation data
- Map historical coal tip locations along the canal bank
- Assess land cover changes on the surveyed 1,500 square meter area
Strengths
- Survey covers a specific area of approximately 1,500 square meters
- Data was collected by a professional archaeology organization, Wessex Archaeology
- Combines two survey methods: photogrammetry and laser scanning
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
