<strong>QGIS</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Archaeologists</strong> <strong>–</strong> A <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

Figure 49: New Shaded DEM / Original Dem<br />

Right, so the original DEM is on the top right hand side, and the de-trended DEM is on the bottom<br />

left hand side. Much more detail is visible. This is the Romano British settlement at Nether<br />

Hesleden.<br />

So to recap, we’ve created a filtered version of the DEM, smoothing it out and removing all the<br />

detail. We’ve then subtracted the filtered version from the original DEM, which removes the large<br />

features like hills and valleys, and leaves the detail.<br />

So now, if you create a hillshade from the de-trended DEM, more detail should be visible in areas of<br />

extreme relief.<br />

Try other commands<br />

Why not also try the contour command from the Raster >> Extraction >> Contour<br />

Using<br />

a 1m contour interval<br />

Or add the Viewshed Plugin from the Plugin manager and watch this video<br />
