The potentiality of ontology within the faculty of archaeology has recently been felt. However, the use of ontology is limited either within the data interoperability for data sharing within various heterogeneous platforms or data integration of heterogeneous dataset. Thus the full potentiality of ontology is still to be realized within the community of archaeology. We are developing a system “...

Thousands of fragments of ceramics (called sherds for short) are found at archaeolgical excavation sites. Till today archaeologists have drawn and classified them manually. This method is very timeconsuming and classification depends on the expierences of the archaeologists. So we developed a system for classification based on 3D-models of the sherds acquired by a 3D-scanner using stuctured lig...

The excavation of mass graves provides information and documentation for both human rights work and for forensic medico-legal investigations. Medico-legal documentation for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda is a major reason for recent excavation of large mass graves in these countries. The mass grave ...

Livestock are an integral part of the agriculture sector and encompass a great impact on the national economy. An eco-friendly alternative to enhance production, prevent and treat disease conditions of animal is a great challenge for animal nutritionists. Keeping farm animals healthy is necessary to obtain healthy animal products. The use of naturally occurring compounds like herbs, herbal prep...

The online dissemination of datasets is becoming common practice within the archaeology domain. Since the legacy database schemas involved are often created on a per-site basis, cross searching or reusing this data remains difficult. Employing an integrating ontology, such as the CIDOC CRM, is one step towards resolving these issues. However, this has tended to require computing specialists wit...

The increasing economic viability of mobile devices has lead to a new breed of computational tools that can be applied to existing problems. Archaeological excavation is one application area to which mobile devices are being used and a range of tools that aid in this domain are being developed. However as archaeologists use a variety of these tools in recording data there becomes the need to st...

The colour palette of painters over history has been of interest to many, including: art historians, archaeologists, and art lovers. Colour usage in art changes from culture to culture and season to season and is often thought of as reflecting or inspiring mood and ambience. We present ColourVis: a visualisation that supports exploration of colour usage in digital images. In particular, we use ...

Every archaeological excavation must deal with a vast number of ceramic fragments. The documentation, administration and scientific processing of these fragments represent a temporal, personnel, and financial problem. Up to now documentation and classification have been done manually which means a lot of routine work for archaeologists and a very inconsistent representation of the real object. ...

Stratigraphic analysis, as defined my Harris in his Matrix approach, constitutes one of the most diffused analysis methods in archaeology. After a long collaboration with Archaeologists and other domain experts, we developed a second version of ArchMatrix, a system for graph-based interaction with excavation data. This system aims at solving the challenges that affect the archaeological practic...
