Getting Creative with Photogrammetry: Adventures in Dos Mangas, Ecuador

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Photogrammetry, the science of converting two-dimensional images into immersive 3D models, traditionally adheres to a strict set of guidelines and specialized tools. However, this poster explores the spirited realm of photogrammetry with rule bending and limits to achieve success in Dos Mangas, Ecuador. In this resource-constrained setting, innovators defied convention, proving that unconventional approaches can yield great results. Dos Mangas, known for its limited space and technology, became an unlikely playground for Photogrammetry. Armed with creativity rather than high-end equipment, demonstrated that the essence of photogrammetry lies not only in sophisticated tools but also in adaptability and creative thinking.
