Abstract
This article describes a project set up to explore the potential of web-based tools
for archaeological interpretation of LIDAR data by a non-expert audience. This is
accomplished through the creation of bespoke web-based tools designed to facilitate
crowdsourced transcription of archaeological features, and trialled through a case
study using LIDAR data covering 100km swathe of the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire. A
group of non-expert volunteers were tasked with transcribing archaeological features
and provided feedback on both the effectiveness of the application and their user
experience, in order to tease out potential barriers to public participation.
