Human impact at Advent City (RiS ID 10516). August 5 - August 16, 2016. Post-excavation assessment report

As part of Kruse’s ongoing post-doc project on the ecological consequences of 400 years of natural-resource exploitation in Svalbard, the aims for this fieldwork were to investigate the human-induced environmental impact at Advent City at different spatial and temporal scales. For this purpose, the team made use of topographic survey by dGPS, 3D photogrammetry, archaeological evaluation, and vegetation survey. This report deals primarily with the results and potential of the excavated evaluations trenches.
