“…LiDAR also drives the mapping of Khmer capitals located near Angkor, revealing planned urban landscapes at large scales [16]. In North America, LiDAR data have expanded cultural heritage inventories [17], helped gain a more complete understanding of archaeological and historical landscapes [18,19], and contribute to assess the impact of humans as geomorphic agents [20]. These are but a few regions in which it is not an understatement to call the addition of LiDAR to the archaeologist's toolbox revolutionary.…”

LiDAR and its derived elevation models have revolutionized archaeological research in forested areas around the globe. Almost a third of Switzerland is covered in forests. The number of archaeological sites recorded in forests in Switzerland is, however, limited. Given these circumstances, it is surprising how underutilized LiDAR data are in archaeological research in the country. As the Federal Office of Topography swisstopo is finalizing the acquisition of new LiDAR datasets, increasing the covered area and allowing for limited time series analyses, these data should be used to the fullest extent. This article describes the open access datasets and elaborates on their potential for archaeological research and cultural heritage management. By employing LiDAR data on a large scale, Swiss archaeological research would likely substantially increase the number of recorded heritage sites. Additionally, this will have the effect of complementing the palimpsests of past anthropogenic activity throughout the landscape while reducing survey biases in the archaeological record.
