Getting Started

Well here we are at last. Over the long winter months Jon and I have been hard at work identifying sites that will showcase the YAA service.

Its not always been easy: a local group, on being offered a free survey to showcase their site, thought a drone in the air for 15 minutes would 'distract people from the archaeology'! Well thankfully not everyone has such views, as the amazing images produced in the Survey Library attest!

Which site do we like the best? Certainly Wharram Percy showcases the potential te best, but I personally love Maiden Bower, or Topcliffe Castle, with the associated medieval manor, with its solid links into documented historical events and concluding with the sad but beautiful tomb in Beverley Minster its an evocative site begging to be explored.

Next time we will be discussing the most often asked question: How are you extrapolating the elevation images?

Additionally we are working on some exciting developments, including terrain sectioning across a site and true 3D mapping, with perhaps point cloud support to get your favorite site into google Sketchup. How fab would that be to showcase your project?

we would love to get some more live projects mapped: keep emailing us ideas!
