Ben Gps Survey

The document provides information on using GPS and auto level surveying equipment. It discusses how GPS works using trilateration of satellite signals and discusses accuracy levels from 5-30 meters without corrections to centimeter level with radio corrections. It then provides a crash course on using an auto level including how to level the instrument, take elevation readings using the stadia rod, and collect distance and height data along a cross section. Finally, it mentions the use of side-scan LiDAR in geoarcheology applications.

Crash Course in Surveying With an

First thing first: Gotta level the it

TOP = DISTANCE

BOTTOM = DISTANCE

CENTER LINE - ELEVATION 

The Auto Level:

The Stadia Rod


Or Surveyor’s Staff

The Instrument
And Tripod

= l (m) * 100 (m)


How to read the Stadia Rod:

11 meters on the dot

Each Black
Rectangle =
1 cm
10.8 meters on the dot
Same for
Each white
one
So what’s
this height?

10.66 meters
What you’ll see through the eyepiece:

Top Stadia = 10.91 m

Stadia Lines Height = 10.85 m

Bottom Stadia = 10.79 m

To Get Distance Away:


1) (Top - Bottom Stadia) = 0.12 m
2) Multiply difference by 100: Distance = 12 meters

For your X-section, be sure to get any

How to collect the data:

NOTE: When shooting features off your line, you will


also need a bearing

“Project North” is at the white house,
And that is BM1

Figure out appropriate scale for x:


1 box = 1 meter? 10 meters? You want your entire survey to fit!
