Interpretación y Cartografía
Interpretation is the first step in converting the information on aerial photographs to maps that show archaeological and other relevant features. Results of photo interpretation will vary depending on the questions asked and the knowledge and experience of the interpreter. Thus there are many 'right' interpretations but no single 'definitive' one.
Mapping follows, or runs in parallel with, interpretation and is the act of showing the results of interpretation. This is usually done in a CAD or GIS using different colours or conventions to show various features. Results can be shown against a range of backgrounds – a modern map, an orthophoto or relief data (contours, lidar or radar) – and may be integrated with other sources of archaeological information. |
