Field surveys Undertaken by the Ulster Archaeological Society in 2007

The fieldwork survey group of the Ulster Archaeological Society carried out a second season of field surveys at four sites in 2007. These were a rath at Lisnabreeny, Co Down; the Yew Terraces at Castle Ward, Co Down; Yellow Jack’s cairn on Divis Mountain, Co Antrim; and stone circles and stone rows at Davagh Lower, Co Tyrone

Archaeology, Architecture and Digital Adaptation: Developing a GIS for Archaeological Excavation on Crete

This paper is not about the history or archaeology of Priniatikos Pyrgos per se. Rather, it is a review of how the site was recorded using both traditional survey and planning techniques and digital approaches applied through a Geographical Information System (hereafter GIS) during the 2007 through 2010 seasons. Earlier work at the site will necessarily be reviewed, specifically the geophysical survey work of the Istron Geoarchaeological Project and the excavations by Hayden and Tsipopoulou between 2005 and 2006, and regional survey work by Hayden and colleagues in the Vrokastro region (Hayden, this volume, 1999, 2004; Sarris et al. 2005; Shahrukh et al. 2012). The digitisation and incorporation of the latter into the project GIS will be explored in some detail.
