3D Scanning and Documentation of Rockart Features on Petroglyph Trail at Chaco Culture National Historical Park

Summary

In this project, the Leica C10 and Breuckmann SmartScanHE were used to document petroglyphs and the associated cliff face located on Petroglyph Trail between Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Ketl in Chaco Culture National Historical Park. The Leica Scanstation C10 scanner was used be to scan the lower cliff wall along the petroglyph trail (approximately 1 km long) at an average resolution of 0.5 – 3 cm. Moderate resolution data for the panels was also captured using a Leica C10 scanner at a resolution averaging 0.3 cm. High resolution data of .15mm was also captured for a portion of Panel 11 using the Breuckmann SmartScan HE. All datasets were co-registered and georeferenced to the local coordinate system.
