I don't understand why Unitof1 has got such a bee in his/her bonnet over the use of laser scanning on our Sittingbourne site. I happen to be the Project Officer who directed the excavations at the former paper mill and together with my Project Manager and our very experienced and hard working digging staff, excavated and recorded the remains of the furnaces (and other features) in a professional manner and to the complete satisfaction of the Council officer overseeing the project. The use of the laser scanner was just ONE method employed in the recording of the features identified on the site. In addition to the scans, the structures and deposits were recorded in the form of hand drawn elevations and plans at scales of 1:10 and 1:20, a photographic record of virtually every brick, block of concrete, surface and surviving fixtures and fittings, sampling of residues and deposits and detailed paper record was produced using deposit, wall and cut Context Recording sheets. Parts of the structures were also dismantled and samples of the various bricks, blocks and other materials used in the construction of the structures were recovered.
The images etc posted on our website are just SOME of the results of the scanning. They are not the finished product and were posted as general information to inform people of ONE of the recording methods used during the project.
I believe that before people start criticising and slagging off the work we have done they should be in posession of all the facts or perhaps, they should just mind their own bl**dy business!!
