Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The application of photogrammetry has been a growing interest in archaeological research. Among different archaeological contexts, burials highlight the effectiveness of photogrammetric for fieldwork. This poster aims to represent how the combination of photogrammetry, total station, and GIS document mortuary contexts in the most efficient manner, not only creating three-dimensional models, but also georeferencing the entire context. We recovered two burials from the south room of the Guzmán Group’s Structure GZ7, an outlying group of the El Palmar archaeological site, which is located in Campeche, Mexico. The results created three-dimensional models of different burial layers as well as georeferenced drawings in ArcGIS.
