Socialized Landscapes of the Southern Plains: Bedrock Ground Stone Surfaces on the Chaquaqua Plateau, Colorado (2015)
Prehistoric peoples of the Southern Plains created bedrock ground stone surfaces in rockshelters along upper canyon rims on exposed Dakota Sandstone. These bedrock milling features became centers for the reproduction of food and other resources but also developed into anchored places that facilitated the reproduction of socio-cultural values and norms. The socialization of the Southern Plains prehistoric landscape is most visible in the material culture remains of bedrock milling features that...
Stereo Photogrammetry for Scaling Underwater Models (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This project will examine the use of stereo GoPro cameras for the purpose of scaling 3d photogrammetric models underwater. These cameras will be set to take images simultaneously at the same angle, 25 centimeters apart therefore creating a scale bar between each set of images. This project also seeks to remotely model shipwrecks...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Love That Dirty Water: Submerged Landscapes and Precontact Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2019, members of the Florida Submerged Prehistoric Landscape Archaeological Survey and Heritage project (FSPLASH) tested photogrammetric methods on three submerged prehistoric sites in Florida. Photogrammetric methods have been widely utilized to interpret submerged historic sites; however, this has...
Three-Dimensional Structural Recording of HMS Investigator at 74° North (2013)
Given the excellent state of preservation of the Investigator, three-dimensional hull recording was a key aim of the 2011 survey. At the outset this posed significant logistical and archaeological challenges on account of the site’s remoteness and uncertainty over how much diving time would be achievable (if at all) due to ice cover. The project team travelled to the far north prepared for a range of methods from standard hand mapping to a novel underwater three-dimensional laser scanner. This...
Tri-Closure: A Quick And Easy Way To Create A Local Coordinate System For Underwater Photogrammetric Recording (2017)
To use 3-D photogrammetric models as scientific data, it is essential for archaeologists to use local coordinate systems to constrain their photogrammetric models to 1:1 scale. This enables archaeologists to take measurements directly from their models. Direct Survey Methods (DSM) are often used to create local coordinate systems; however, DSM often requires several days of diving operations, which may become problematic when recording large or deep-water sites. As a quick alternative method,...
A UAV-based approach for a cost-efficient documentation of agrarian structures in the arid Atacama area (N. Chile) (2015)
The paper summarizes the contribution of UAV to the documentation of a vast group of late Prehispanic agrarian elements (fields, irrigation canals) in the arid Atacama area (northern Chile). Taking advantage of the extraordinary preservation and visibility of fields, canals and other constructions, the general mapping of the area was based on a combination of visual interpretation of high resolution satellite images (GeoEye 1) and fieldwork. However, despite their high resolution, satellite...
Updating the Outdated for Understanding: Creating 3D models for the Smithsonian Chebacco boats. (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Citizen Science in Maritime Archaeology: The Power of Public Engagement for Heritage Monitoring and Protection" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Chebacco boats have almost no physical representations left. The Smithsonian houses a few of the rare models that were created by people who built and sailed them at the time of their heyday. The only depictions of these models are outdated black-and-white...
Using Photogrammetric Scanning to Account for Vertical Control in Underwater Excavations (2017)
In terrestrial archaeology, creating a vertical stratigraphic profile of a site is crucial to fully understanding site formation processes and wider contexts. Vertical profiling in underwater archaeology however, is more challenging and time consuming. As a result, profile data is often not collected unless there is a distinct difference in stratigraphic layers or it is reserved for more crucial aspects of an excavation such as ship timbers. The purpose of this paper is to propose that...
Using Photogrammetry for Assessment and Monitoring of Site Formation Processes Acting on Vessels from the 1733 Spanish Plate Fleet in the Florida Keys (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Recent Development of Maritime and Historical Archaeology Programs in South Florida" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Using the latest photomosaic software, detailed models were created for two shipwrecks from the 1733 Spanish Plate Fleet located in the Florida Keys. Photographs were taken on the shipwrecks of Nuestra Señora del Populo and Nuestra Señora de Balvaneda and the mosaics proved to be both time...
Using Photogrammetry to Complement and Visualize the Paleolithic Excavation of the Arma Veirana Cave in Italy (2016)

Using high resolution imaging systems and UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems), photographic surveys were completed of the interior and exterior of the Arma Veirana Cave in Liguria, Italy. The aim is to contextualize the excavation within its environment for accurately geo-referencing the excavation trenches and to better understand how Neanderthals lived with respect to their...
Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Aerial Photogrammetry on the San Diego Coastline (2015)
Developments in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) over the past five years have allowed for their use among non-experts and the rapid development, at relatively low cost, of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) or drones. UASs use the UAV platform to carry a variety of sensors. One of the most important developments coming from this technology is the ability to collect aerial photos for photogrammetry at relatively low cost. In an effort to better understand the uses, practical issues of operation, and...
A virtual documentation of excavation through 3D modeling; is it worth the effort? (2016)
Illustration of various means has always helped in visualising complex information, and archaeologists have used means such as photographs, drawings and even three-dimensional illustration to present complex archaeological data. Archaeologists began using three-dimensional models of various archaeological monuments only in 1990s. However, in recent years, and with high-end computer applications, archaeologists are able to document different stages of excavations using 3D illustration, which has...
Virtual Shipwrecks; Photogrammetry and User Interface Design in Archaeological Outreach (2017)
In the past decade, new software has made it easier and less expensive for archaeologists to use the tools of photographers and game designers to produce novel outreach tools with photogrammetry. Among these relatively new applications is the ability to create virtual worlds from photographic and video data.
