Upper Witham Valley 1

Not really what I would necessarily call the 'Upper' Witham Valley, but following here the terminology of Jolliffe, T. 2010 Archaeology of the Upper Witham Valley, BAR British Series 524, Oxford. One wonders if the title is deliberately obscuring given the (unsuccessful) attempt to keep all site locations secret (an impressive piece of work, this one peculiarity aside). I have always thought the hill-shading on early Ordnance Survey products a much more expressive way of depicting the landscape, even if it lacks the objectivity of contouring. Draping a piece of standard 1:50000 map over a surface model has nice effects where the topography is marked (you can hardly miss the Lincoln edge).
