This paper explores the intersection of two fields of research: autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and archaeology in the deep sea. Archaeology in the deep sea poses a range of difficult, interesting problems for autonomous underwater vehicles. These include broad area sonar searches, target identification, and precision survey. Broad area sonar searches for archaeology have requirements si...

B category, and a bubble attached to a node represents a set of archaeological records. The size of a bubble attached to a node reflects the number of records belonging to that category. The hyperbolic tree supports ‘‘focus + context’’ navigation; it also provides an overview of records organized in the archaeological digital library. It shows that the records are from seven archaeological site...

Environmental change caused by urban development, land drainage, agriculture or climate change may result in accelerated decay of in situ archaeological remains. This paper reviews research into impacts of environmental change on hydrological processes of relevance to preservation of archaeological remains in situ. It compares work at rural sites with more complex urban environments. The resear...

A “3D photo-logging system,” a new method for recording archaeological sites, was developed. The prototype system consists of several servers running on a single machine and logging units composed of a camera phone equipped with a motion sensor attached to the mobile phone and a GPS sensor, and a notebook PC for logging the position and orientation of the camera phone. Using the 3D photo-loggin...

C.A. and O.B.J. Shepherd have developed a subdivision of three 1000 m sections and five 'acre' sections in the lower Tauranga Whangaroa. Five archaeological sites were identified within the subdivision. The sites recorded are identified as representative of the sites present on the volcanic valley sides.

Digital acquisition, processing and visualization of archaeological sites require increasing performance for software tools. The application of hybrid methodologies based on digital information poses new challenges for satisfying professional and entertainment requirements, helping to have a better understanding of archaeological sites. A faithful representation of the current state is displaye...

Archaeology is a discipline closely related to the representation of objects that are at the center of its concerns. At different times of the archaeological method, representation approach takes different forms. It takes place on the archaeological excavation, during the exploration, or in a second time in the warehouse, object after object. It occurs also in different drawing scales. The use ...
