Abstract

Glacial isostatic adjustment produces challenges and opportunities for northern archaeology. Landscapes, coastlines, and lake shores have undergone continual change due to sea-level rise, land uplift, tilting, and water drainage. Simulating the combined effect brings to life a veritable geographic clockwork, which frames human habitation. In landscape archaeology the effect has usually been modelled on the basis of incommensurable local uplift/sea-level curves. This paper presents a new general semi-empirical land uplift model for digital terrain model morphing that is applicable throughout North Europe within the former extent of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet. The first refined version of the model is designed for open access use in QGIS software. Based on validation testing on 1542 index points, the model functions on par with earlier complex models, albeit with better accessibility. The GLARE model provides a generalized method for simulating geographical change in North Europe, providing new possibilities for landscape archaeology.

介绍了用于模拟北欧最终更新世/全新世地理变化的冰川后陆地调整再生器（GLARE）

冰川均衡调整给北方考古学带来了挑战和机遇。由于海平面上升、陆地隆起、倾斜和排水，景观、海岸线和湖岸经历了不断的变化。模拟这种综合效应，将一个真正的地理时钟带到了生活中，它构成了人类居住的框架。在景观考古学中，这种影响通常是基于不可通约的局部隆起/海平面曲线来模拟的。本文提出了一种适用于整个北欧地区芬诺斯坎德冰原范围内的数字地形模型变形的一般半经验陆地隆升模型。该模型的第一个改进版本是为QGIS软件的开放访问而设计的。基于对1542个索引点的验证测试，该模型的功能与早期的复杂模型相当，尽管具有更好的可访问性。眩光模型提供了一种模拟北欧地理变化的通用方法，为景观考古学提供了新的可能性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Archaeological Science is aimed at archaeologists and scientists with particular interests in advancing the development and application of scientific techniques and methodologies to all areas of archaeology. This established monthly journal publishes focus articles, original research papers and major review articles, of wide archaeological significance. The journal provides an international forum for archaeologists and scientists from widely different scientific backgrounds who share a common interest in developing and applying scientific methods to inform major debates through improving the quality and reliability of scientific information derived from archaeological research.
