GIS Team

The last week of the season is always a crazy busy one for our GIS team. In addition to their regular responsibilities producing daily top plans, surveying the site, and other assorted tasks, they have to produce grid phase plans and prepare images/models to be used in the end of season lecture. 

What do we mean by grid phase plans? These are plans that show all the architecture from each occupational horizon within a given grid. They are, in other words, a key tool in our reconstruction of each phase of settlement at Tel Shimron. Once the phase plans are done, models, some of which might be 3D, will be created to better illustrate (or animate) what we see in the phase plans. 

A shout out to our stellar GIS team for all their hard work!
