The 3D Digitization of the World Trade Center Wreck (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher Dostal.

Accurate documentation of cultural heritage materials is the lynchpin for all aspects of archaeological investigation. When it comes to the reconstruction and interpretation of shipwrecks, this is especially true. The more accurate and true to life the documentation is, the more accurate the interpretation and reconstruction of a ship will be. The methods by which ships have been documented have evolved rapidly over the years, though each new and innovative method is tied to foundational...

Efficient and Effective in situ Heritage Management: Using 3D photomodels to document and assess a site's condition. (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kotaro Yamafune. Nicholas C. Budsberg. Charles D Bendig.

Archaeological work and cultural heritage management are significantly limited by time, personnel, and financial resources.  Many submerged and terrestrial archaeological sites are fragile, and are located in easily accessible areas, leaving them exposed to destructive processes.  The successful management of our cultural heritage involves regularly monitoring each site, but most management groups lack sufficient resources to conduct detailed surveys that include metrics, qualitative...


Galley Congress Inspection Report (Legacy 01-162)

La Belle: Lessons Learned and Applied in Order to Restructure the Use of Watercraft Data (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Peter D. Fix.

Although the archaeological team excavating La Belle performed an extraordinary job at timber recording, all 1:1 drawings were traced by hand on Mylar and then digitized into AutoCAD. That data was later assembled into lines drawings, profile and plan-view scale drawings.  In advance of freeze-drying individual components of La Belle, there was an immediate need for precision measurements from drawings that were already two generations removed from the original source. The pain-staking process...
