Author(s): Bryan S Rose; Kelsey K Dwyer; Sydney Swierenga
Year: 2016
Summary
The boats of Cahuita, Costa Rica vary in design, size and decoration. This poster displays the design variation and depicts the East Carolina University summer field school methods used to record these small watercraft. The differences in design are catalogued through photography and also with recorded measurements. The information gathered should be sufficient to reconstruct the vessel at full scale. In some cases, the data was further utilized to create more practical three dimensional computer models through various methods including Photogrammetry and CAD software. These methods allow for detailed measurements and observations by future scholars. The models become part of a digital archive of sorts.
