“…It should be noted that privacy issues with respect to spatial data are discussed not only in Germany, but also other countries (Blatt 2012). Currently, there are, however, no clear rules for how to provide georeferenced survey data for primary or secondary use.…”

“…The ethics of geospatial data generally have been discussed for quite some time (Blatt, 2012), with specific attention to archaeology more recently (McCoy, 2021). As the sheer amount and availability of data in the 21st century continues to grow, we must also reflect upon our role in the creation, analysis and dissemination of these data in scientific research and knowledge production and how that intersects with our work in archaeology and cultural heritage (Kansa & Kansa, 2021;Markham et al, 2018;McCoy, 2017).…”

Publicly available Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) datasets have become widely accessible in the northeastern United States and beyond in the past 10 years. The increase in dataset availability and accessibility coupled with a number of publications detailing the types of cultural features that can be identified has made it necessary to explore and discuss positive impacts and risks to cultural features on this landscape. Access to detailed, documented locations of archaeological resources at state or federal agencies in the United States is typically limited to those with certain credentials, yet many locations of features and sites, both documented and undocumented, are now available to anyone who can access these datasets and effectively interpret them. This presents a challenge for cultural resource management professionals and the field of archaeology; for while LiDAR datasets have had many positive impacts, it is not yet obvious what the unintended impacts of feature exposure might be. Risks to sites are worth considering in the northeastern United States, where (1) region‐wide LiDAR data are publicly available and accessible, (2) many cultural features are widely accessible and not well monitored and (3) case studies have been published that provide guidance on how to identify specific types of cultural landscape features using LiDAR data. We discuss the nuances of those topics here, provide examples of how the datasets have impacted archaeology in the northeastern United States and explore possible mitigation strategies to maintain data accessibility while also protecting important cultural features in this region.

“…Information System) applications has been the subject of debate and discussion. This is due to concerns regarding the privacy and confidentiality of this data (Richardson D, 2019;Blatt AJ, 2012). Although security technology and government regulations are frequently developed and established to ensure the ethical use of geo-location data, publicly available databases are the main resource for academic and research purposes.…”
