[Talk-GB] Mapping Archaeology
Hi A friend of mine belongs to a local Archaeology group and they are going to do some surveying shortly using a variety of methods including ground penetrating radar. I thought it would be nice if somehow the results get put onto Open Street Map. Are buried walls and landscape features suitable for recording on Open Street Map perhaps at level -1? I have a feeling I saw something a while ago about a parallel open streetmap that was intended for archaeology and recording things that are no longer visible, but I have lost the link and can't find any references to the site. Any thoughts on the matter? ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Was it http://www.openhistoricalmap.org you were thinking of?

Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping Archaeology
Obviously the location of the site can be identified, and any excavations recorded. These are current facts. But I keep watching Time Team and thinking that all of the material they gather would make a good base for an historic view of the UK. Not sure where we are with the servers for the historic map, but in a lot of places the historic view breaks through into the current data! So the idea that this material is stored in the same database is in so many cases sensible? There is considerably less data that is totally lost to redevelopment against that which is now being preserved below that development? Being able to view what is actually recorded below that development would be an excellent next step?

Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping Archaeology
The openhistoricalmap is completely blank for me (both in Internet Explorer and Chrome), so I guess it hasn't taken off. It seems a shame not to add the data into OSM in some way assuming the group finds something. Do you know of any examples of areas where groups of Archaeologists (like Time Team) have added information into OSM?

That does rather assume the right building has been marked! I've just come across a case where the OS have marked the church hall and left the church as an ordinary building. Whilst I mapped it using only the initial sighting on the ground, and OS OpenData (ignoring their PW), subsequently checking with other resources, they seem to have thought the lift motor room, for the hall, was a tower (Pathfinder Series) and missed the small spire on the church itself, even though the church is the larger, and more impressive, building. (I will recheck it on the ground, but nothing so far seems to contradict my initial mapping.) ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Exactly why OS Street View should only be used as a guide, not gospel.

Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping Archaeology
Open Historical Map is a sandbox environment and has only been around for a few months. It's far too early to write it off. A more reliable link is probably hosm.gwhat.com, but Jeff Meyer has been having problems with the servers recently, and it doesn't seem to up atm.
