    Analysis of the Efficacy of LiDAR Data as a Tool for Archaeological Prospection at the Highland Valley Copper Mine by Sarah K.

In this study I explore methods for employing LiDAR-derived digital elevation models as a tool for archaeological prospection within the Highland Valley Copper Mine. A review of contemporary and formative LiDAR-analysis archaeological prospection research was conducted to identify the most appropriate visualization techniques and data management workflow. Specific methods for the identification of microtopographic relief with the potential to contain archaeological resources were developed. The efficacy of LiDAR-based topographic analysis using manual feature extraction is validated through comparison with georeferenced survey and ground-truthing data provided by my research partners at the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council.

    1 December 12, 2002 Larry Koller Box 3B, Comp 12 Tulameen, BC V0X 2L0 Phone or Fax (250) 2956502 To: Honourable Joyce Murray Minister of Water, Land and Air Protection Room 124 Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 VIA FACSIMILE 604 775-2121 Dear Madam, On July 9, 2002 you appointed me to the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Taskforce. You have asked me to make recommendations, with supporting rationale, on the completion and implementation of a Grizzly Bear recovery Plan based on a review of: (1) the draft Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan for the North Cascades of British Columbia(January 19, 2001) (Draft recovery plan) (2) the Input received during the Public Consultation Period (Public Input), (3) the Proposed responses to this input from the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Recovery Team (Team Responses), and, (4) Any additional technical/scientific input. In addition to this, for the first eight meetings we had the privilege of a resource person from the recovery team to guide us through the above. You have to appreciate that the taskforce represents a wide range of stakeholder interests. Even with a two-month extension, aside from general agreement that there should be a conservation strategy for the grizzly bear your expectation of a consensus on recommendations for completion and implementation of the recovery plan is overly optimistic. Now, because of the timeframe for submitting (Dec. 15) and finding that we have exceeded our budget, I am breaking away from trying to reach consensus recommendations; keeping to the Terms of Reference re: Decision-making. I was nominated by Dave Chutter MLA (Yale-Lillooet) to represent local residents on the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Taskforce.
