This guidance is designed to help those intending to use airborne
laser scanning (ALS), also known as lidar, for archaeological
survey. The aim is to help archaeologists, researchers and those
who manage the historic environment to decide first, whether using
lidar data will actually be beneficial in terms of their research
aims, and second, how the data can be used effectively. The
guidance will be most useful to those who have access to data that
have already been commissioned, or are planning to commission lidar
for a specific purpose. They also provide an introduction to data
interpretation in order to separate archaeological and
non-archaeological features. Although important themes are
introduced, this guidance are not intended as a definitive
explanation of the technique or the complexities of acquiring and
processing the raw data, particularly as this is a still developing
technology. This document is intended to complement 3D Laser
Scanning for Heritage, which covers a wider range of uses of laser
scanning for heritage purposes (Historic England 2018). This
Guidance is a revision of The Light Fantastic: Using Airborne Lidar
in Archaeological Survey published by English Heritage in 2010. The
text has largely been maintained except for certain areas where
major changes have occurred in the ensuing years. This is
particularly true with regard to increased access to data and the
wide range of visualisation techniques now available. The case
studies have also been updated to reflect more recent survey
activity and to include examples from outside Historic England.
