NEW TOOLS FOR NEW METHODS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH

- Victoria López, Tània Martínez and Irina Grevtsova
Restitution on site and virtual archaeology: two lines for research



          • Both, the in situ restitution and virtual recreation have as a goal the knowledge of the scientific process and method which was behind the rendering of the final picture.
          • Both for archaeological research and educational purposes is less important the aspect concerning the actual reliability of the restitution.
          • The archaeological research emphasizes the philological rigour of the method, but for learning is even most important to know how the process.

The debate concerning the benefits and the problems 
for all the hypothetical reconstructions

DOCUMENTIA. DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE.

- Maria Andaloro, Carmela Crescenzi, Paola Pogliani and Giorgio Verdiani
The St. Eustache and the Meryemana churches in Göreme, two case studies of documentation about rupestrian heritage in Cappadocia, technical approach from the digital survey to the restoration hypothesis 


St. Eustache: the mix of tunnels and the presence of a rich mural paintings in the main church room shows the particular approach to architecture combining security needs and faith.

Meryemana church: the special qualities of a small space are amplified by the risk of total destruction caused by a crack which is separating the church in two parts and is menacing the falling of the whole church in the 25 meters void beneath it.

- Sorin Hermon, Doron Ben-Ami, Hamudi Khalaily, Gideon Avni, Giancarlo Iannone and Marina Faka
3D documentation of large-scale, complex archaeological sites – the Givati Parking excavation in Jerusalem 

The site consists of several monumental buildings overlapping and extending over ca. 3 ha., and
at depth of more than 10 meters from modern street level. It is being excavated as part of a large-scale rescue excavation that started six years ago, during which Byzantine, Roman, Hellenistic and Iron Age
periods remains have been uncovered.

- Marco Canciani, Corrado Falcolini, Giovanna Spadafora and Mauro Saccone
The architectural 3d survey vs archaeological 3d survey.

3D Survey and Documentation in Building Archaeology. The Medieval Church of San Niccolò in Montieri

Probing the limits of VR reconstructions based on full coverage urban survey of Roman towns



 What are the strong points of these "reconstructions"?
          • The visual quality of the imagery is very good
          • The quality of images can satisfy the expert user, who wants a correct representation of the Past, as well as the common user, who wants to understand the Past, live an experience and build affinity or empathy
          • It results from very inter-disciplinaryresearch and looks at the past landscape from different viewpoints who had their say in the end result.

 What are still the limits in this case study to achieve top notch VR reconstructions?
          • It is a present only a static visualisation, which cannot fully answer the request of updating interpretations and simulations. Further three-dimensional modelling and interactive applications are needed
          • There are no diachronicelements describing how the cityscape changed over time
          • Uncertainty is not yet expressed in the imagery and especially the expert user will need some transparecy incorporated in the model to build research hypotheses and conclusions



Implementation of methodology:
          1. Equipment easy to use
          2. Post processing software expensive but offers better solution than existing open-source (JRC and Geomagic)
          3. Such a large scale excavation requires tremendous computer resources
          4. 3D documentation team needs to be frequently at the site
          5. Results obtained (3D point cloud) are very efficient for archaeological analysis, conservation studies and restoration plans

Conclusions:
          1. Need for an adequate software for using 3D data in archaeological investigation
          2. 3D analysis of such a complex site requires high computeer resources (processing and storage)
          3. Archaeologists need to make a "mental shift" from 2D to 3D analysis
