Journal ArticleDOI
Application of the topographic position index to heterogeneous landscapes
Jeroen De Reu,Jean Bourgeois,Machteld Bats,Ann Zwertvaegher,Vanessa Gelorini,Philippe De Smedt,Wei Chu,Marc Antrop,Philippe De Maeyer,Peter Finke,Marc Van Meirvenne,Jacques Verniers,Philippe Crombé +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied TPI to a geoarchaeological research project in northwestern Belgium but their use led to erroneous landform classifications in this heterogeneous landscape, and they found that deviation from mean elevation (DEV) was a better method for landform classification than TPI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the relative topographic position of archaeological sites in the landscape, a case study on the Bronze Age barrows in northwest Belgium
Jeroen De Reu,Jean Bourgeois,Philippe De Smedt,Ann Zwertvaegher,Marc Antrop,Machteld Bats,Philippe De Maeyer,Peter Finke,Marc Van Meirvenne,Jacques Verniers,Philippe Crombé +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three methods to assess the relative topographic position of sites are applied and discussed and discussed in the Bronze Age barrow dataset of northwest Belgium is used as the subject for a methodological case study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digital Elevation Model generation for historical landscape analysis based on LiDAR data, a case study in Flanders (Belgium)
Ilke Werbrouck,Marc Antrop,Veerle Van Eetvelde,Cornelis Stal,Ph. De Maeyer,Machteld Bats,Jean Bourgeois,Mona Court-Picon,P. Crombé,J. De Reu,Ph. De Smedt,Peter Finke,M. Van Meirvenne,Jacques Verniers,Ann Zwertvaegher +14 more
TL;DR: This paper discusses the generation of a high precision DEM (Digital Elevation Model) based on high density airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data for an interdisciplinary landscape archaeological study concerning the settlement history and environment in Sandy Flanders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transferring Google Earth observations to GIS-software: example from gully erosion study
TL;DR: The use of R statistics freeware is proposed to easily convert files to the shapefile format, which can be loaded into Geographic Information System (GIS) software (ESRI ArcGIS 9 in the authors' example) and strongly increases the analysis possibilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing palaeochannel morphology with a mobile multicoil electromagnetic induction sensor
Philippe De Smedt,Marc Van Meirvenne,Eef Meerschman,Timothy Saey,Machteld Bats,Mona Court-Picon,Jeroen De Reu,Ann Zwertvaegher,Marc Antrop,Jean Bourgeois,Philippe De Maeyer,Peter Finke,Jacques Verniers,Philippe Crombé +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an integrated approach for reconstructing the morphology of a known palaeochannel segment by modelling the depth to the sandy substrate, and a calibration method based on a limited number of auger data is proposed.
