The use of this important technique gives archaeologists the opportunity to understand these impacts, whi...

We present here the first step of an interdisciplinary work dealing with underwater photogrammetry and archaeological data management. In the framework of a phd project we develop a set of tools from underwater data capture to 3D underwater GIS for archaeological excavation. The phd project, managed by Julien Seinturier, is monitored by Odile Papini for the data fusion aspect and Pierre Drap fo...

in prehistoric studies of iran, the abharrood river basin, located on the east of zanjan province and in the northwestborder of the central plateau, is one of the little-known and dark regions. studying this region according to itsenvironmental features and geographical location is important for understanding regional relations and interregionalinteractions between three cultural-geographical a...

In the practice of archaeological field survey there is a manifest importance for densities, that is, an abundance artifacts, often relying on simple counts objects. However, well-known issue variable breakage pottery can cause biases in quantitative analysis. Although such issues are generally acknowledged, direct assessment and resulting lacking research. This paper explores pros cons quantif...
