    This document discusses the use of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) in archaeology and provides two case studies from Slovenia. It examines how LiDAR can help study landscape taphonomy and the preservation of archaeological remains. One case study looks at the Ljubljana Marshes region and how LiDAR helped identify archaeological features from different time periods across the wetland landscape. The other case study examines the Sava River valley and how LiDAR revealed ancient river channels and terraces containing archaeological sites that were previously undiscovered.
