Anne-Karoline Distel
I started mapping in 2013 occasionally, but my efforts intensified with my move to Ireland in 2016 and the start of the buildings project in 2019. Apart from contributing things useful to the general public, my interest lies in recording heritage from small things like boot scrapers and jostle stones to large sites such as field systems. When I’m not mapping, I play the fiddle and mandolin in several bands or fall down historical research rabbit holes.
Session
Since OSM Ireland started their buildings project utilizing the TaskManager, I have discovered over 120 potential archaeological sites previously unrecorded by the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. In this talk, I will speak about how to identify them and the challenges and rewards in reporting them to the National Monuments Service.
