Dataset for: A reproduction of C. Vita-Finzi and E. S. Higgs's Prehistoric Economy in the Mount Carmel Area of Palestine: Site Catchment Analysis
Description
Land Shapefile
The land vector dataset was sourced from the 10m Natural Earth Geopackage dataset.
Topology
The topological raster data set was sourced from 30m NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), which displays the global topography as it is found in the modern day.
Land-Use
The land-use raster was sourced from the Sentinel-2 10m Land Use/Land Cover Timeseries which provides a 10m resolution of land-use in the study area as of 2021.
Rivers
The river vector dataset was sourced from the HydroSHEDS data at 15 arc-second resolution based on the SRTM DEM.
Lakes
The lakes shapefile for the study area is from a large-scale data set from Natural Earth on a scale of 1:10m. This shapefile produces polygons which demonstrate the extent of the major lakes present in the area.
