Paleolandscape Reconstruction and Modeling in the Lower Pecos River Valley

Summary

The Lower Pecos River valley in southwestern Texas provides an ideal location for the development of a three-dimensional landscape reconstruction using modern geospatial methods, including LiDAR and digital photogrammetry. The goal of this project is to create a scientifically accurate, high resolution prehistoric landscape model of a portion of the Lower Pecos valley, an archaeologically-rich region that has experienced widespread modifications to the natural landscape during the historic period. The development of such a model will provide an accurate context for the myriad of prehistoric sites in the area and contribute to landscape-scale analyses of the social, economic, and ritual aspects of prehistoric life in the region.
