Abstract Digital technologies have been at the heart of fieldwork Kaymakçı Archaeological Project (KAP) since its beginning in 2014. All data on this excavation are born-digital, from textual, photographic, and videographic descriptions contexts objects a database journals to 2D plans profiles as well 3D volumetric recording contexts. The integration structure motion (SfM) modeling various prod...

The main goal of our activity has been the testing of a system for quick and non invasive images acquisition and their suitable processings aimed to obtain 2Do 3D models for archaeological diggings documentation. This purpose has implied the analysis and the selection of a simple and efficient data processing system for the generation of metric products such as digital elevation models and orth...

This study presents preliminary results of research on pre-Angkorian canals near the ancient settlement of Angkor Borei in the southern Mekong delta of southern Cambodia. The canals have been mapped by aerial photograph interpretation and investigated in the field by hand auger drilling of two canal traces and trenching of one of these. Luminescence profiling through the canal infill successful...

This paper describes work undertaken by the VERA project to investigate how archaeologists work with information technology (IT) on excavation sites. We used a diary study to research the usual patterns of behaviour of archaeologists digging the Silchester Roman town site during the summer of 2007. Although recording had previously been undertaken using pen and paper, during the 2007 season a p...

Archaeological studies of Early Islamic communities in Central Asia have focused on lowland urban communities. Here, the authors report recent geophysical survey and excavation an cemetery at Tashbulak south-eastern Uzbekistan. AMS dating places establishment mid-eighth century AD, making it one earliest burial grounds documented Asia. Burials conform to prescriptions for grave form body deposi...

This paper reports on some initial experiences developing and evaluating a games-based approach to explorative learning. The approach adopted has particular relevance to subjects such as archaeology and geography that have scope for a significant fieldwork element, but which in practice are limited by the problems and costs associated with arranging real experience for potentially large numbers...

This article presents a study of the value archaeological excavation as non-medical intervention to support mental health and wellbeing among military veterans. Beginning by discussing quantitative psychological data that shows it is effective, considers qualitative from UK, Georgian, Ukrainian veterans begin establishing “how” archaeology effective.

Based on the data of Jiangzhai one-stage settlement sites archaeological excavation data, this paper applies three-dimensional visualization technology of virtual reality to scenario building. In order to enhance the fidelity of prehistoric settlement sites to reproduce the virtual system simulation results in the system design and implementation process, it essential to build plenty of the nat...

It is inevitable that some important specimens will become lost or damaged over time, conservation is therefore of vital importance. The Paluxy River dinosaur tracksite is among the most famous in the world. In 1940, Roland T. Bird described and excavated a portion of the site containing associated theropod and sauropod trackways. This excavated trackway was split up and housed in different ins...
