The fascination Homo sapiens have had and continue to have with the cosmos is evidenced the world over and across civilisations through space and time. From a circa 2,500 BCE stone arrangement on the Salisbury Plains in England to the painted cave walls and ceilings of celestial and spiritual beings connecting people, land, and sky found throughout Aboriginal Australian cave art our obsession with the cosmos has spanned tens of millennia.
“In recent years there has been increasing interest in the effect of man on the Australian environment. Forests have been bulldozed, swamps drained, heaths sown with trace elements, beaches chewed up, and the litter of the mid-twentieth century spread everywhere. That this is deeply affecting the countryside is obvious to all and causes concern to some” (Jones, 1969).
Increasingly, heritage professionals in Australia are integrating both LiDAR and photogrammetry—using technology not to replace traditional archaeology, but to enhance its depth, accuracy, and reach.
