Abstract
The introduction of laser scanning has triggered off a revolution in topographic terrain capturing, especially in the generation of digital terrain models (DTM) and it is beginning to find success in archaeological survey. To explore its potential for archaeology, a LiDAR survey covering the Cornești landscape, in the west part of Romania, was carried out. This paper presents a GIS approach to discover new characteristics of the archaeological site. First, the DTM of the surface has been generated in order to produce the local relief model (LRM). A data processing approach is presented to enhance the visibility of the new site and to allow their relative elevations as well as their volumes to be measured directly. In the second part of the paper, a GIS workflow is presented which provides a well-structured descriptive and analytical tool for identifying spatial patterns. Finally, the potential of LiDAR to transform our future management of the historic environment will mark the archaeological activities.
