SUMMARY:3D Scanning to Preserve Subterranean Heritage - Jonathan Lester\,

DESCRIPTION:Subterranean spaces often allow for unrivalled preservation po
 tential compared to other archaeological site types\; with further develop
 ments in 3D scanning\, for example\, Photogrammetry and LIDAR\, we can now
  unlock the archaeological potential of these spaces like never before. Th
 is involves both engineering and archaeological cross-disciplinary initiat
 ives to aid in the further development of underground monitoring and recor
 ding equipment to assist in preserving these spaces for future generations
  and research\, along with the ability to monitor for deterioration and po
 ssible dangers.\n \nI will discuss my present work on 3D records of cave a
 nd mine heritage\, which allows for better data collection of speleothems 
 for dating and element tracing\, looking at Fuliginochronology to aid in f
 urther discoveries of specifically Palaeolithic archaeology. But also how 
 I can scan and record sites in detail never seen before\, with commerciall
 y available technology. This work has far reaches in all walks of archaeol
 ogical research\, but also issues regarding sport caving and speleology\, 
 the dangers of the likes of mines\, and how my work with photogrammetry wi
 ll help monitor changes in underground spaces and aid in the archaeologica
 l recording of these often disappearing sites.
