Aztec West Ruin: Composite Wall Elevations from Pre-Backfilling Architectural Photo-Documentation

Summary

This project includes architectural wall elevation images of individual rooms in the great house at Aztec West Ruin. Most of the images were photographed prior to backfilling efforts and during architectural documentation in West Ruin. Most of the images are composites of multiple photographs that were spliced together in Adobe Photoshop to reconstruct the entire wall elevation. Each individual image is a high-resolution, rectified photograph that was created either using a digital camera or scanned from photographic slide. To date, wall elevations in the east wing and northeastern corner of West Ruin have been ingested in tDAR.
