	abstract = {
	While traditional methods of terrestrial survey involve walking transects and, in vegetated areas, periodic subsurface testing may be conducted, the possibly of discerning the spatial context of surface collection is initially very difficult.\&nbsp; The recent availability of remote sensing data, especially high-resolution LiDAR, provides an exceptional tool that can provide insights into the subsurface context of collected surface materials.\&nbsp; In some cases, the features disclosed by LiDAR can direct a survey to locations which may warrant much more intensive investigation with test excavations.\&nbsp;



	The area around Tel Abu Shusha on the western perimeter of the Jezreel Valley (northern Israel/historic Palestine) provides a case study where an intensive pedestrian survey was conducted in 2017.\&nbsp; Subsequently, in the 2019 field season, surface reconnaissance was conducted using LiDAR as the principal guide to verifying subsurface features in selected areas.\&nbsp; An analysis is presented which compares the two surveys and the types of evidence disclosed in the landscape.\&nbsp; The strength of adding LiDAR to the traditional field survey technique is explored, along with recommendations for how best to utilize LiDAR in evaluating historic landscapes.\&nbsp;

	abstract = {A surface reconnaissance survey of several archaeological sites in greater Megiddo spanning the late Roman through Ottoman-Mandate periods was undertaken during June and July 2019 using LiDAR imagery with the intent of determining what features displayed by the LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology imagery could be verified on the ground. Specifically, the investigation sought to understand how LiDAR imagery could display sub- surface structures and certain surface features in two Palestinian villages previously identified in the vicinity of Tel Megiddo. The results of the field research of these case studies illustrate how the near-surface structures that once supported\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp; various buildings can be readily identified through the visualization that LiDAR provides.},

	abstract = {The challenge of presenting micro- and macro-scale scale data in landscape archaeology studies is facilitated by a diversity of GIS technologies. Specific to scholarly research is the need to selectively share certain types of data with collaborators and academic researchers while also publishing general information in the public domain. This article presents a general model for scholarly online collaboration and teaching while providing examples of the kinds of landscape archaeology that can be published online. Specifically illustrated is WorldMap, an interactive mapping platform based upon open-source software which uses browsers built to open source standards. The various features of this platform allow tight user viewing control, views with URL referencing, commenting and certification of layers, as well as user annotation. Illustration of WorldMap features and its value for scholarly research and teaching is provided in the context of landscape archaeology studies.},

	abstract = {The case study focuses on the problem of identifying the characteristics of dispersed refugee settlements for which there is limited documentation.\&nbsp; The Rubkan settlement was the result of Syrians fleeing their country{\textquoteright}s conflict and attempting to cross into Jordan at a remote location.\&nbsp; However, they were prohibited crossing the border.\&nbsp; Instead, an ad-hoc settlement developed on the Syrian side of the border.\&nbsp; This case study examines Rubkan from imagery acquired by the PLEIADES satellite in November of 2014 and in April of 2015(imagery provided by {\textcopyright}CNES 2014 \&amp; 2015, Distribution Airbus DS) for the purpose of determining the feasibility of using high resolution remote imagery to estimate the habitation numbers, size and occupancy pattern in a remote refugee settlement.
Recommendation:\&nbsp; In order to improve the accuracy of interpreting the imagery, a reference catalog of images should be created that contain both on-the-ground photos and aerial images of individual structures.\&nbsp; A reference image catalog will allow analysts to accurately identify the various buildings and features of refugee settlements.\&nbsp;
