Wallington in central Northumberland is a late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century country house with associated pleasure grounds. Much of the surrounding estate is agricultural land, though there are also expanses of moorland and conifer plantation. The character of Wallington’s landscape, now divided into fifteen separate farm holdings, was...
Optically stimulated luminescence profiling and dating of earthworks: the creation and development of prehistoric field boundaries at Bosigran, Cornwall - Soetkin Vervust, Tim Kinnaird, Peter Herring, Sam Turner
This volume comprises a selection of research papers that were presented at the 7th
International Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography,
which took place in Oxford, UK, from 13 to 15 September 2018. It is the fifth
volume in a series of proceedings which has been made possible through the
partnership between the Internationa...
This volume comprises most of the research papers presented at the 6th International
Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography which
took place in Dubrovnik, Croatia, on 13–15 October 2016. As such, it is already the
fourth volume in a series of proceedings which has been made possible through the
partnership between the Interna...
The eighteenth century Carte de cabinet of count de Ferraris is the first large-scale (1:11 520) topographic map of the entire Belgian territory, making it a valuable source of historical information. In the past, a number of studies have tried to assess the geometric accuracy of this map, but they all suffer from restricted technical capabilities...
It is generally assumed from something said by the French surveyor Cassini de Thury in his book Relation d’un voyage en Allemagne (1775) that count de Ferraris had incorporated Cassini’s geodetic data into his own maps of the Austrian Netherlands: the manuscript Carte de cabinet (1777) and the Carte marchande (1777). Cassini had carried out a trian...
In the 18th century, what is now Belgium formed part of the Habsburg Empire as the Austrian Netherlands. Between 1770 and 1774 this territory was subjected to a large-scale military survey, carried out by the artillery corps of the Austrian Netherlands under the command of its director-general, count de Ferraris. By the end of 1777, this exercise h...
This volume gathers 19 papers first presented at the 5th International Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography, which took place at the University of Ghent, Belgium on 2-5 December 2014. The overall conference theme was 'Cartography in Times of War and Peace', but preference was given to papers dealing with the military cartog...
The accuracy of old maps can hold interesting historical information, and is therefore studied using distortion analysis methods. These methods start from a set of ground control points that are identified both on the old map and on a modern reference map or globe, and conclude with techniques that compute and visualise distortion. Such techniques...
The goal of this research is to design, use and evaluate a set of web lectures, specifically tailored to the needs of students in higher education who follow geographic information system -related courses. Since education in geographic information system includes theoretical concepts and practical experience, both of these teaching strategies will...
Between 1770 and 1778, the Belgian territory was homogeneously mapped on a scale of 1:11,520 and 1:86,400 by the artillery brigade of the Austrian Netherlands under the guidance of count de Ferraris. Ferraris’s mapping project is a good example of the extensive, detailed surveys that started to emerge in the 18th century in Western Europe. This bra...
Between 1770 and 1778, the Belgian territory was uniformly mapped on a scale of 1:11,520 and 1:86,400 by the Artillery Corps of the Austrian Netherlands under the guidance of count de Ferraris. The mapping project is a good example of the extensive, detailed surveys that started to emerge in the 18th century in Western Europe. This new form of mapm...
In november 2013 werd door het Agentschap voor Geografische Informatie Vlaanderen (AGIV) van de Vlaamse overheid de nieuwe portaalsite Geopunt.be gelanceerd. De website bundelt alle beschikbare geografische overheidsinformatie voor burgers, organisaties, bedrijven en overheidsinstanties. Via Geopunt wordt ook allerlei gegeorefereerd historisch kaar...
At the end of the eighteenth century, a large-scale map of the Austrian Netherlands and the Prince-Bishopric of Liege was manufactured, covering more or less the current territory of Belgium. The work for this Carte de Cabinet was carried out by artillerists under the guidance of count Joseph de Ferraris, who was commissioned for the task by the Ha...
