Lidar and Landscapes in the Archaeology of Greece

Abstract

Over the last decade, several projects in Greece have integrated lidar into their research programs in a variety of ways. The technology and its applications are still new enough, however, that there has been little opportunity for disciplinary dialogue on the subject. The conference, Lidar and Landscapes in the Archaeology of Greece: An International Workshop, which we co-organized at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in March of 2024, aimed to open a forum for lidar-based archaeological research in Greece. The number and range of presentations and the robust in-person and online attendance confirmed the depth of interest in the technology, the broad scope of its application, and the types of research questions it might help to illuminate.
