The following talk was given at the 2016 FOSS4G-NA Conference in Raleigh, NC.
This talk shows how discoveries can be made by an Archaeological/GIS hobbyist using open source tools such as 1) QGIS and GDAL to process LIdar derived DEM/DTM data, 2) GeoServer to serve the data, and 3) Leaflet to create a detailed map of ancient known and potential archaeological sites. This work was done because of a personal interest in the Mound Building cultures, without funding and with limited resources yet the results are amazing. Come on a journey and explore the lidar data and personal photos of many of these fascinating archaeological sites.
