Photogrammetric Memory: Illustrating the Public Interpretation of Pensacola's Brass Wreck

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Technologies and Public Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

The use of 3D technology is becoming more widespread in archaeology, from public outreach and education to monitoring site formation processes. This thesis aims to utilize photogrammetry and public outreach to determine site identification (if possible), document site degradation, and explore public memory of a popular dive site off Pensacola, Florida. Conducting interviews with members of the dive community can provide valuable information about how the archaeological site, known commonly as Brass Wreck, has changed through decades of recreational exploration. Further, a photogrammetric model of the site in its current state will serve as a hub to display publicly-sourced media from its past, allowing for direct comparison and documentation of the changes the wreck has undergone.
