Scythian Landscapes - Data Prepare Week

This week, we explored USGS Earth Explorer for ASTER DEM data for our target study area. Because imagery in this region is difficult to come by, we also georeferenced an image of a known Scythian burial mound site in Tuekta to our DEM dataset. We further narrowed our study area by clipping the mosaic raster to a smaller polygon boundary. The goal of the study is to determine if the Scythians had a placement pattern of the mounds themselves.
