Born-Digital Logistics: Impacts of 3D Recording on Archaeological Workflow, Training, and Interpretation

Abstract Digital technologies have been at the heart of fieldwork Kaymakçı Archaeological Project (KAP) since its beginning in 2014. All data on this excavation are born-digital, from textual, photographic, and videographic descriptions contexts objects a database journals to 2D plans profiles as well 3D volumetric recording contexts. The integration structure motion (SfM) modeling various products has had an especially strong impact how project participants interact with archaeological record during after excavation. While technology opens up many new possibilities for recording, analysis, presentation, it can also present challenges when requirements system come into conflict archaeologist’s training experience. Here, we consider benefits costs KAP’s system. We explore ways that protocols image-based change archaeologists see manage areas revolutionizing our interaction (digital) record. share some preliminary intend expand work future.
