Archaeological 3D GIS by Nicolò Dell’Unto,Giacomo Landeschi Pdf

Archaeological 3D GIS provides archaeologists with a guide to explore and understand the unprecedented opportunities for collecting, visualising, and analysing archaeological datasets in three dimensions. With platforms allowing archaeologists to link, query, and analyse in a virtual, georeferenced space information collected by different specialists, the book highlights how it is possible to re-think aspects of theory and practice which relate to GIS. It explores which questions can be addressed in such a new environment and how they are going to impact the way we interpret the past. By using material from several international case studies such as Pompeii, Çatalhöyük, as well as prehistoric and protohistoric sites in Southern Scandinavia, this book discusses the use of the third dimension in support of archaeological practice. This book will be essential for researchers and scholars who focus on archaeology and spatial analysis, and is designed and structured to serve as a textbook for GIS and digital archaeology courses.

3D and 4D Cartography of Archaeological Stratigraphy by Undine Lieberwirth Pdf

This monographfocuses on one of the most interesting sections of the Main Forum of OstiaAntica, the ancient commercial port of Rome, during the 2nd-6thcenturies AD. With a detailed 3D reconstruction of all collected information,it is possible to gain detailed insights into the development and destructionof the city centre during the transition from Antiquity to the Early MiddleAges. The applied 3Dvolume map in this study makes this possible by combining 2D, 2.5D and 3Dsolid objects inside a real geo-space. It completes the 3D space, generallyfilled with hollow objects, with content. With this work,Undine Lieberwirth gives archaeologists a free and open ready-to-use tool. Theresulting space-time model of archaeological stratigraphy, geophysics andpedology opens new perspectives on 3D documentation and 3D analysis ofarchaeological and archaeology-related data. Her intention is not only topreserve archaeological excavation data in the best way possible but also toprepare them for future 3D and 4D analysis. The digital 3D cartography offersthe perfect framework for this. To represent these 3D modelsappropriately, the usual 2D images in this monograph are replaced with 8videos.

3D Surveying Methods and Digital Information Management for Archaeological Heritage by Angela Bosco Pdf

This text analyses in detail the methods and developments in 3D survey, with reference to the different areas of archaeological research. It examines the transition from traditional applications to 3D surveying, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Three-dimensional acquisition methods using photogrammetry and laser scanning are explored, as well as the most widely used systems for 3D data management, such as 3D GIS and innovative building information modelling for archaeology. The theoretical analysis is contextualised in different archaeological scenarios (field survey, valorisation, and maintenance), and it is enriched by case studies that explain the application potential. This text is primarily for scholars interested in three-dimensional survey issues for archaeological contexts and students approaching graphic documentation aspects.

Digital Geoarchaeology by Christoph Siart,Markus Forbriger,Olaf Bubenzer Pdf

This book focusses on new technologies and multi-method research designs in the field of modern archaeology, which increasingly crosses academic boundaries to investigate past human-environmental relationships and to reconstruct palaeolandscapes. It aims at establishing the concept of Digital Geoarcheology as a novel approach of interdisciplinary collaboration situated at the scientific interface between classical studies, geosciences and computer sciences. Among others, the book includes topics such as geographic information systems, spatiotemporal analysis, remote sensing applications, laser scanning, digital elevation models, geophysical prospecting, data fusion and 3D visualisation, categorized in four major sections. Each section is introduced by a general thematic overview and followed by case studies, which vividly illustrate the broad spectrum of potential applications and new research designs. Mutual fields of work and common technologies are identified and discussed from different scholarly perspectives. By stimulating knowledge transfer and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, Digital Geoarchaeology helps generate valuable synergies and contributes to a better understanding of ancient landscapes along with their forming processes. Chapters 1, 2, 6, 8 and 14 are published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.

3D Recording and Interpretation for Maritime Archaeology by John K. McCarthy,Jonathan Benjamin,Trevor Winton,Wendy van Duivenvoorde Pdf

This open access peer-reviewed volume was inspired by the UNESCO UNITWIN Network for Underwater Archaeology International Workshop held at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia in November 2016. Content is based on, but not limited to, the work presented at the workshop which was dedicated to 3D recording and interpretation for maritime archaeology. The volume consists of contributions from leading international experts as well as up-and-coming early career researchers from around the globe. The content of the book includes recording and analysis of maritime archaeology through emerging technologies, including both practical and theoretical contributions. Topics include photogrammetric recording, laser scanning, marine geophysical 3D survey techniques, virtual reality, 3D modelling and reconstruction, data integration and Geographic Information Systems. The principal incentive for this publication is the ongoing rapid shift in the methodologies of maritime archaeology within recent years and a marked increase in the use of 3D and digital approaches. This convergence of digital technologies such as underwater photography and photogrammetry, 3D sonar, 3D virtual reality, and 3D printing has highlighted a pressing need for these new methodologies to be considered together, both in terms of defining the state-of-the-art and for consideration of future directions. As a scholarly publication, the audience for the book includes students and researchers, as well as professionals working in various aspects of archaeology, heritage management, education, museums, and public policy. It will be of special interest to those working in the field of coastal cultural resource management and underwater archaeology but will also be of broader interest to anyone interested in archaeology and to those in other disciplines who are now engaging with 3D recording and visualization.

Spatial Technology and Archaeology by David Wheatley,Mark Gillings Pdf

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and related spatial technologies have a new and powerful role to play in archaeological interpretation. Beginning with a conceptual approach to the representation of space adopted by GIS, this book examines spatial databases; the acquisition and compilation of data; the analytical compilation of data; the analytical functionality of GIS; and the creation and utilization of critical foundation data layers such as the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The ways in which GIS can most usefully facilitate archaeological analysis and interpretation are then explored particularly as a tool for the management of archaeological resources. Formal analysis of archaeological material, and the use of trend surface, contouring and interpolation procedures are considered along with predictive modeling analysis of visibility and intervisibility. Finally there is a discussion of leading-edge issues, including three-dimensional GIS, object-oriented GIS, the relationship between GIS and 'Virtual Reality' technologies, and the integration of GIS with distributed systems and the Internet. The approach is light, and technical detail is kept to a minimum, recognizing that most readers are simply interested in using GIS effectively. The text is carefully illustrated with worked case-studies using archaeological data. Spatial Technology and Archaeology provides a single reference source for archaeologists, students, professionals, and academics in archaeology as well as those in anthropology and related disciplines.
