The week prior focused on data preparation for this lab. This week secondary coverages were generated for slope, aspect, and elevation. In addition, contour lines were also derived from the DEM. The georeferenced image of the mounds was used to generate a shapefile of the point locations of the mounds. This was great practice for identifying archaeological features in the landscape and also to discern any patterns these features may or may not possess. The general trend seems to be that the mounds are found in areas with low elevation, facing in southerly directions (SE, S, SW), and they lie at slopes between 0 and 10 degrees. Next week, the lab will statistically explore the data and we will 'publish' it.
The map deliverable below shows the several coverages that were generated along with a shapefile showing the point locations of some of the Tuekta mounds. The coverages were generated just as was done in preparation for the Tangle Lakes project weeks prior.
