The GDH LidArc Initiative - Pioneering Global Under-Canopy Archaeology by LiDAR

The GDH LidArc Initiative aims to support underfunded projects in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas (where possible) in the acquisition, processing, and interpretation of high-quality LiDAR data for archaeology. The research team is a consortium of universities and institutes based in Italy and the USA, with leading expertise in landscape and digital archaeology, including high-resolution LiDAR. The broader goal of the initiative is to select projects that reduce inequalities in access and lead to significant discoveries. Interested groups worldwide are invited to submit proposals for research projects, which GDH and the consortium will review. The consortium will then carry out the flights, analysis, and provide the data to the project.
