Glacial Archaeology in the Pennine Alps, Switzerland/Italy, 2011–2014

Overview of Interdisciplinary Ice Patch Research in the Greater Yellowstone Region, USA

“…It has been a decade since a major glacial archaeological project was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation to locate archaeological material at high altitudes in the Pennine Alps (SNSF 2022), on the southern border of the Canton of Valais in Switzerland. Over the course of that project, which concluded in 2014, historians, archaeologists, and geographers worked together to locate areas of high glacial archaeological potential to preserve cultural heritage (Rogers et al 2018;Eschmann Richon 2014). Models were created using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and several locations were prospected to test the efficacy of the model results (Rogers and Curdy 2015;Rogers, Fischer, and Huss 2014;Rogers, Collet, and Lugon 2014).…”
