<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container"> Let me share some doubts and
concerns regarding to a concrete application of GRASS GIS to
archaeology. <br>
<br>
The point is that I would like to prepare some training exercises
for a group of archaeologists, and I'm dealing right now with the
problem of how to properly represent stratigraphic sections or
cross sections over an excavation site. I mean something like
this: <br>
<p><img moz-do-not-send="false"
src="cid:part1.E0CB06F8.3623CBC4@udg.edu" alt="stratigraphy"
class="" height="260" width="400"></p>
<p>For the training exercises, I could own a collection or a
series of digital surface models (dsm), relative to every single
step or excavation phase on the excavation's site process. In a
practical way, that means that every time a stratum is removed,
the archaeologists can get a new digital surface model using a
drone and a lidar sensor. Then computing the difference between
the previous dsm and the current one (and so on, successively),
they could obtain a collection of stratum or layers to visualize
it in a cross section diagram. I don't know if the problem is
enough well explained...<br>
<br>
I've been reading and searching on the Internet for a while,
about GRASS GIS and stratigraphic/cross sections, but I've
didn't find any hint neither a clear clue about how to do it.
So, the question is, is it possible to get something similar to
the previous or the following image using GRASS GIS, as well as
combined, with other tools or open source software? Any answer,
hint or clue will be really appreciated.<br>
