Innovation Technologies and Applications for Coastal Archaeological sites project (ITACA) aims to develop and test a management system for underwater archaeological sites in coastal regions. The discovering and monitoring service will use innovative satellite remote sensing techniques combined with image processing algorithms. The project will develop a set of applications integrated in a syste...

RomeLab is a multidisciplinary working group at UCLA that uses the city of Rome as a laboratory for the exploration of research approaches and dissemination practices centered on the intersection of space and time in antiquity. In this paper we present a multiplatform workflow for the rapid-prototyping of historical cityscapes through the use of geographic information systems, procedural modeli...

Using Montarice in central Adriatic Italy as a case study, this paper focuses on the extraction of the spectral (i.e., plant colour) and geometrical (i.e., plant height) components of a crop canopy from archived aerial photographs, treating both parameters as proxies for archaeological prospection. After the creation of orthophotographs and a canopy height model using image-based modelling, new...

In the archaeological record, the rise of sedentary communities is often a gradual process involving increasing settlement nucleation, and the indigenous development of more complex levels of community organization. In contrast, the creation of permanent nucleated settlements in the Canadian Arctic by the Federal Government in the 1950s and 1960s introduced Inuit families to settled community l...

– Revisiting geophysical results post-excavation can lead to additional information. Giving geophysicists feedback on their interpretations valuable insights.

Motivated by the need for fast, accurate, and high-resolution approach to document heritage and archaeological sites before they are removed or destroyed, the goal of this paper is to develop and demonstrate advanced image-based techniques to capture the fine 3D geometric details of such sites. The size of the site can be large and of any arbitrary shape which presents a challenge to all existi...

We present ArchE (Archaeological Editor), a system for processing and displaying archaeological data. ArchE checks these data for consistency, simpliies and displays them; for each of these steps ArchE ooers a number of diierent algorithms. The interactive features (eg input, data editing and modiication of the layout) are easy to handle. Furthermore , ArchE contains algorithms for focusing on ...
