“…The project comprises several sub-fields, including landscape, maritime, and architectural survey, archaeometric and geoarchaeological analysis, and ethnographic and anthropological research. To date, detailed survey and recording has focused on Roman and late antique remains on the islands of Bogsak (ancient Asteria) and Dana (and the adjacent shores), which lie in the Tasucu Gulf to the west of Silifke, on Turkey's southern Mediterranean coast (Varinlioglu 2017;Varinlioglu et al 2017). While the coastal area has seen increasing industrialisation and urbanisation in recent decades, the mountainous hinterland of Bogsak has witnessed a growing level of abandonment, as farmers and transhumant pastoralists have increasingly moved to towns and cities.…”

“…The island is covered by limestone and vegetation. Recent research revealed a lower settlement along the northwestern shore and an upper settlement associated with a fortress on the south summit [45]. These settlements can be traced back to the Early Roman period.…”

Evaluation of UAV LiDAR for Mapping Coastal Environments

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing techniques have demonstrated great potential for monitoring rapid shoreline changes. With image-based approaches utilizing Structure from Motion (SfM), high-resolution Digital Surface Models (DSM), and orthophotos can be generated efficiently using UAV imagery. However, image-based mapping yields relatively poor results in low textured areas as compared to those from LiDAR. This study demonstrates the applicability of UAV LiDAR for mapping coastal environments. A custom-built UAV-based mobile mapping system is used to simultaneously collect LiDAR and imagery data. The quality of LiDAR, as well as image-based point clouds, are investigated and compared over different geomorphic environments in terms of their point density, relative and absolute accuracy, and area coverage. The results suggest that both UAV LiDAR and image-based techniques provide high-resolution and high-quality topographic data, and the point clouds generated by both techniques are compatible within a 5 to 10 cm range. UAV LiDAR has a clear advantage in terms of large and uniform ground coverage over different geomorphic environments, higher point density, and ability to penetrate through vegetation to capture points below the canopy. Furthermore, UAV LiDAR-based data acquisitions are assessed for their applicability in monitoring shoreline changes over two actively eroding sandy beaches along southern Lake Michigan, Dune Acres, and Beverly Shores, through repeated field surveys. The results indicate a considerable volume loss and ridge point retreat over an extended period of one year (May 2018 to May 2019) as well as a short storm-induced period of one month (November 2018 to December 2018). The foredune ridge recession ranges from 0 m to 9 m. The average volume loss at Dune Acres is 18.2 cubic meters per meter and 12.2 cubic meters per meter within the one-year period and storm-induced period, respectively, highlighting the importance of episodic events in coastline changes. The average volume loss at Beverly Shores is 2.8 cubic meters per meter and 2.6 cubic meters per meter within the survey period and storm-induced period, respectively.

“…The most likely explanation holds that Cilician warlords dominating the seascape dispatched some percentage of their young male populations to sea, if only to exploit the trade occurring directly offshore. Emerging archaeological evidence of Iron Age fortresses along the Cilician shore argues in favor of a pattern of offshore force projection by Cilician warlords (Varinlioğlu et al 2017). Still, the numbers entailed here would inevitably have been small, hardly sufficient to staff the sizeable armadas recorded for the Cilician pirates.…”
