A 3D Landscape Analysis of Stelae Visibility at Copan, Honduras (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Heather Richards-Rissetto. Michael Auer. Jennifer von Schwerin. Nicolas Billen.

From the early 5th to early 9th centuries, a dynasty of sixteen kings ruled at the ancient Maya site of Copan, Honduras. In the mid-7thth century, Chan Imix K'awiil or Ruler 12, is believed to be the first of Copan’s rulers to erect stelae outside the city’s main civic-ceremonial group. Why did he do this? Did these stelae exist as solar markers? Did they serve as territorial markers? Or, were they part of a communication system? Scholars have set forth these and other hypotheses, to explain the...


3D Recordation and Visualization of Ft Casimir, New Castle, DE (2022)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian Crane.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "More than Pots and Pipes: New Netherland and a World Made by Trade" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Three-dimensional recordation and visualization formed an important part of the work of documentation and interpretation at the 17th-century site of Fort Casimir in New Castle, DE. Part of the work funded by the New Castle Historical Society through an American Battlefield Protection Program Grant included...


Best Practices for 3D Recordation and Visualization of Historical Archaeological Sites (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian Crane.

The use of 3D recordation and visualization techniques on archaeological sites has expanded dramatically in recent years. In response to the popularity of these technologies, European practitioners have developed the London Charter for the Computer-Based Visualization of Cultural Heritage as a foundation for best practices. This paper discusses the London Charter and how it may be applicable to American Historical Archaeology. Issues include appropriate technology selection, documenting sources...


Making the Most of Opportunities in 3D Visualization (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian D. Crane.

This is an abstract from the "Making the Most of Opportunities in 3D Visualization" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This forum, sponsored by the North American chapter of the Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology will comprise 3-minute presentations on the current use of 3D recordation and visualization techniques in historical archaeology. Presentations will address how the technology can move beyond producing a...


The Panther Cave Digital Documentation and Visualization Project (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher Goodmaster. Erin Helton.

Recent digital documentation efforts at Panther Cave (41VV83) have yielded a detailed record of current site conditions and provide a wealth of geospatial data pertinent to the prehistoric art preserved at the site. Three-dimensional laser scanning (LiDAR) and digital photogrammetry were integrated to record a highly accurate digital model of the rockshelter and its immediate environment. This documentation effort provides a robust corpus of data for use in the digital visualization, analysis,...


Progressive Partnerships for Heritage Preservation: 3D Immersive Learning, Documentation and Research Tools in our Nation’s Park System (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lori Collins. Travis Doering. Margo Schwadron.

Today, much of the world’s cultural heritage is at risk from natural and human-induced causes. New technologies such as terrestrial laser scanning, advances in imaging and photography, 3D printing, and other spatial and visualization techniques are greatly advancing capabilities for heritage preservation and research. These technologies are democratizing data access, and improving the ability to share and interpret archaeological information globally. The ability to rapidly and accurately...
