Recording and Mapping Ancient Mayan

Agricultural Landscape Systems

 

C Dimensions personnel traveled to Belize to acquire low altitude aerial photogrammetric coverage of filled ancient Mayan canal systems and associated cultural features.  These images will assist in the detailed 3-D mapping of the area, and will help to determine spatial and settlement patterning in the region.
