Archaeological projects are increasingly acquiring 3D data sets of individual finds, as well as whole cities. The archaeologist receives the model as a 3D PDF, video, point cloud or object file. Views of the model are published in a journal, shown in an exhibition and the pipeline usually ends here. Typically, archaeologists do not use the 3D model for much more than visualization purposes. The MayaArch3D project is building a 3DWebGIS to enable archaeologists to do more with these models –to...
A Transparent 3D Model of Temple 18 at Copán for Visualization and Research (2015)
The development of a clear approach to creating highly "transparent" (effectively displaying the argument behind a reconstruction) 3D models for visualization and research in archaeology is an ongoing process. The goal of this presentation is to address this problem with a use-case example of a 3D model of Structure 10L-18 (Temple 18, ca. AD 800) on the acropolis at Copán in Honduras. How can data be structured and applied to this 3D model in order to provide a user with a clear understanding of...
