Best Practices for 3D Recordation and Visualization of Historical Archaeological Sites
Author(s): Brian Crane
Year: 2018
Summary
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 and methods, and providing for long-term data curation. Examples illustrating potential best practices will include photogrammetry and virtual reconstruction of selected archaeological sites including an 18th-century root cellar in Pennsylvania, a brick-lined cellar beneath a shotgun house in the District of Columbia, and Fort San Felipe at the site of Santa Elena, SC.
