A team of experts identified almost a thousand previously unknown archaeological features where the Battle of the Bulge took place.
"The Battle of the Bulge is a high-profile, key battlefield of WW II," Stichelbaut said."This is in stark contrast with the knowledge of the landscape where it happened. Almost nothing was known about the actual preservation of features in the forests where it happened. This discrepancy was one of the driving forces behind our research."
To address the gaps in our knowledge, Stichelbaut and colleagues conducted a high-resolution survey using LiDAR technology mounted on drones to survey a portion of the battlefield from a new perspective. LiDAR involves laser imaging and essentially enables scientists to"see through" the forest canopy, revealing hidden features below.
Maps show hidden features identified with LiDAR techniques in the forested Ardennes region. Archaeologists have identified around 1,000 previously unknown features in the battlefield.Using this method, the team identified hundreds of previously unknown features. These included dugouts, foxholes, trenches, bomb craters and even artillery emplacements.
