Abstract

Monitoring cultural resources in parks and protected areas is greatly enhanced using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). For this example, a pilot inventory of cultural resources is illustrated for the United States National Park Service lands that protect the Appalachian Trail in Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, the trail stretches 145.2 kilometers (90.2 miles) and is protected by nearly 2052 hectares (5070 acres) of land. To aid in the resource monitoring, these remote sensing data are corroborated with historic records to identify the historical archaeological resources in the corridor. The inventory are then added to existing management plans to help protect the national park with a more complete understanding of the historical human impacts in the backcountry of New England.

在公园和保护区发现考古景观

利用光探测和测距(LiDAR)技术，大大加强了对公园和保护区文化资源的监测。举例来说，美国国家公园管理局保护马萨诸塞州阿巴拉契亚山道的土地上的文化资源试点清单。在马萨诸塞州，这条小径绵延145.2公里(90.2英里)，受到近2052公顷(5070英亩)土地的保护。为了帮助资源监测，将这些遥感数据与历史记录相印证，以确定走廊内的历史考古资源。然后将清单添加到现有的管理计划中，以帮助保护国家公园，更全面地了解人类对新英格兰偏远地区的历史影响。

期刊介绍： Published quarterly, this is the only general journal dedicated solely to North America—with total coverage of archaeological activity in the United States, Canada, and Northern Mexico (excluding Mesoamerica). The North American Archaeologist surveys all aspects of prehistoric and historic archaeology within an evolutionary perspective, from Paleo-Indian studies to industrial sites. It accents the results of Resource Management and Contract Archaeology, the newest growth areas in archaeology, often neglected in other publications. The Journal regularly and reliably publishes work based on activities in state, provincial and local archaeological societies.
