The event is at the Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center and Museum on August 23, 2023, near Dolores, CO. The presentation will be from 4:00 – 5:00 PM in the museum auditorium. The event will also be broadcast on Zoom for participants that cannot attend the in-person event. Links to register for the event are located below. SCAAS has a strong and enduring interest in developing and deploying guidance on the use of new technologies to add standardized landscape orientation, feature detail and horizon data to archaeological site documentation form packages and reports. Our documentation process investigates placement of sites on the landscape, their spatial relationships and building feature orientation to horizon features and events. It combines traditional architectural documentation with photogrammetry, LiDAR terrain modeling, calibrated horizon profiles and Google Earth and Stellarium astronomy software. Escalante Pueblo at Canyons of the Ancients National Monument was our first Cultural Landscapes Survey Project. The results will be presented here along with preliminary information on this year’s fieldwork at Wallace Great House Pueblo.
