TABLE OF CONTENTS•What is Archaeology?
•How does Cultural Heritage Diagnostic Visualization fit in to Archaeology?
•UCSD & CISA3 pushing the cultural heritage diagnostic visualization envelope
•Work on Integrated Tech for Data Capture & Dissemination
•Establishment of the CISA3 Undergraduate Research Internship (C.U.R.Is)
•The Future of Cultural Heritage Diagnostics…
What is Archaeology?
The Scientific Study of Material Remains
of Past Human Cultures
= Artifacts and Sites
Why?
So that we can try and interpret intersections between Objects, Space, and Time
to make sense of our past.
Often works best to visualize for dissemination- timelines, maps, etc…= BIG DATA issues
I study spatial relations within sites and the placement of sites within the landscape.
V.S.
The center of campus has moved as the campus expanded
Roman Dining vs Contemporary Dining at the Loft
How do we do this in archaeology?
New Technologies Continue to Change the Game…
PHYSICAL
Evolving Data Capturing Technologies Mean
INTANGIBLE
(Ceci n’est pas le site!)
The Site A Photograph of the Site (2D)
Accurate 3D Point Cloud Model of the Site
Layered Realities!!
3D Immersive Cave Systems
Collaborative Visualization Walls
Augmented Reality: ARtifact
Capable Point Rendering Software

Terrestrial LiDAR= The best way to get a dense data scaffold in the field- if it could be adapted for rapid deployment in
uncertain environments…
TEST CASE 2011 Khirbat Faynan, Jordan *testing the engineering*creating metadata standards & workflow *building a digital scaffold
Rescue LiDAR at Umm al-Amad
SANDCASTLES FOR SCIENCE
NSF-IGERT Mini- Grant Project: Sediment Interval & Site Deformation Processes: Exploring Time Lapse Laser Scanning Capabilities & Methodologies for Archaeology
Jordan 2012: Back at Faynan looking at integrating more technologies into the data capture process…
Invited to collect data at Petra….
