An archaeologist from the University of Bradford has joined a project exploring the bronze age carvings of the South Pennines.
Community archaeologist Louise Brown is working on the Carved Stones Project on Rombalds Moor, above Ilkley, and the Riches of the Earth Project taking place on Baildon Moor.
“The volunteers working on these projects are generating valuable data that is not only useful for these projects but which will also be available for other archaeologists to use in the future.”
Volunteers have been recording prehistoric carvings, using photogrammetry, the latest computer software to create detailed line drawings.
Their findings will be uploaded onto the national database, England’s Rock Art, to enable comparison with other rock art finds nationally, and to enable archaeologists in the future to assess the extent of deterioration over time.
