Uncovering archaeological landscapes at Angkor using lidar.

Previous archaeological mapping work on the successive medieval capitals of the Khmer Empire located at Angkor, in northwest Cambodia (∼9th to 15th centuries in the Common Era, C.E.), has identified it as the largest settlement complex of the preindustrial world, and yet crucial areas have remained unmapped, in particular the ceremonial centers and their surroundings, where dense forest obscure...

MAGA: A Mobile Archaeological Guide at Agrigento

The use of a PDA with ad-hoc built-in information retrieval and auto-localization functionalities can help people in visiting a museum in a natural manner instead of traditional audio/visual pre-recorded guides. The goal of this paper is to build an user-friendly virtual-guide system adaptable to the user needs of mobility and therefore usable on different mobile devices (e.g. PDAs, Smartphones...

Feral swine disturbance at important archaeological sites.

Feral swine are well known as environmentally destructive invasive animals in many areas around the world, where they degrade native habitats, harm rare plant and animal species, damage agricultural interests, and spread disease. We provide the first quantification of their potential as agents of disturbance at archaeological sites. Our study was conducted in south-central Florida at Avon Park ...

Investigation of parameters affecting the travel time at tramway systems: the case of Athens, Greece

Within the framework of this paper, various parameters that might affect the efficiency and the reliability of a tramway system are examined. Two linear regression models are built in order to investigate the way these parameters are affecting the commercial speed and the travel time deviation, respectively. The case study is the tramway of Athens which operates since the 2004 Olympic Games. Al...
