| Summary: | This dataset consists of a digital elevation model (DEM) and an orthomosaic of the Atanikerluk archaeological site (NKAH 1724), located on the Nuussuaq Peninsula in NW Greenland near the settlement of Saqqaq. The DEM and orthomosaic were produced from 612 aerial images that were acquired by a DJI Phantom 3 drone. The images were processed using Agisoft Metashape Professional (version 1.7.1) following protocols established by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) for drone surveys of coastal regions (Over et al., 2021). Five ground control points were distributed throughout the survey area. The drone survey of the Atanikerluk site was conducted as part of the Vaigat Iceberg-Microbial Oil Degradation and Archaeological Heritage Investigation (VIMOA) project, which was funded by the Danish Centre for Marine Research and supported by the Arctic Research Centre at Aarhus University, in affiliation with the National Museum of Denmark, the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, and The Greenland National ... |
