Bluestone Archaeology Adopts
PointMan to Map Roman Archaeological
Remains in UK
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., Sept. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ProStar Holdings Inc.,
(“ProStar®” or “the Company”) (TSXV: MAPS) (OTCQX: MAPPF) (FSE: 5D00), a world
leader in Precision Mapping Solutions®, is pleased to announce that Bluestone
Archaeology, a non-for-profit, community interest company (CIC), has adopted ProStar’s
precision mapping technology, PointMan®.
“We are pleased to announce that ProStar Holdings is making available its PointMan
surveying software to help our excavation team accurately survey complex archaeological
features using high-accuracy GPS satellite technology,” stated Stephen Baldwin, Director of
Excavations. “The team is working with ProStar Holdings with the aim of adapting the
PointMan for archaeological use.”
Bluestone Archaeology has been excavating a recently discovered coastal Roman Fort in
Burscough, near Liverpool in the UK. Spectacular geophysics confirmed the site to be an
auxiliary Roman Fort covering an area of around 5 acres (2 hectares). The fort is thought to
be an invasion fort that held around 1,000 Roman soldiers and a cavalry unit that patrolled
the hinterland of the fort.
“It is very exciting to see that PointMan adds tremendous value outside of our core
business, including archaeology, where we can provide valuable results that will further the
knowledge of the Roman military occupation of North-West Britain in the 1st and
2nd centuries AD,” stated Page Tucker, CEO of ProStar. “Our PointMan application is
designed to precisely capture, record, and display the precise location of critical buried
objects, and although our focus is critical infrastructure, there are obviously other valuable
use cases that go well beyond that, including archaeology.”
