Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The development of digital technologies and the use of advanced photogrammetry programs for modeling archaeological excavations and sites have opened new possibilities for spatial analysis in archaeology and the reconstruction of archaeological contexts. Among its main objectives, the Dos Hombres to Gran Cacao Archaeology Project investigates the sociopolitical nature of the study area through architectural, material cultural remains, and geospatial analyses. The scope of this research is to present the basis of a digital database that incorporates 3D photogrammetry and technical illustrations of cultural features located in an ancient Maya ceremonial site located in northwestern Belize. These techniques allow the digital preservation of information through time, giving the opportunity to multiple experts to revisit the information over the long-term.
