Abstract

This paper explores a novel mathematical approach to extract archaeological insights from ensembles of similar artifact shapes. We show that by considering all the shape information in a find collection, it is possible to identify shape patterns that would be difficult to discern by considering the artifacts individually or by classifying shapes into predefined archaeological types and analyzing the associated distinguishing characteristics. Recently, series of high-resolution digital representations of artifacts have become available, and we explore their potential on a set of 3D models of ancient Greek and Roman sundials, with the aim of providing alternatives to the traditional archaeological method of ``trend extraction by ordination'' (typology). In the proposed approach, each 3D shape is represented as a point in a shape space -- a high-dimensional, curved, non-Euclidean space. By performing regression in shape space, we find that for Roman sundials, the bend of the sundials' shadow-receiving surface changes with the location's latitude. This suggests that, apart from the inscribed hour lines, also a sundial's shape was adjusted to the place of installation. As an example of more advanced inference, we use the identified trend to infer the latitude at which a sundial, whose installation location is unknown, was placed. We also derive a novel method for differentiated morphological trend assertion, building upon and extending the theory of geometric statistics and shape analysis. Specifically, we present a regression-based method for statistical normalization of shapes that serves as a means of disentangling parameter-dependent effects (trends) and unexplained variability., Comment: accepted for publication from the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage

Abstract

Romanisation is a multi-faceted historical phenomenon with profound and lasting cultural impact on the ancient world. In the modern-day territory of Tunisia, this is particularly manifest during the first four centuries AD, under the reign of the Roman Empire. We derive a reduced, operational concept of Romanisation as a cultural diffusion process that is observable in the archaeological remains of the Roman era settlement system. We then introduce a novel mathematical model that computes spatio-temporal approximations for the Romanisation of the settlement system. The model is based on the concept of temporal road activation and makes minimal assumptions regarding input data quality. The results of our study contribute to the understanding of the time dynamics of the region's road network, under the influence of Romanisation. Our model can be applied in similar archaeological research scenarios, to generate spatio-temporal backbones for the analysis of otherwise intractably complex social processes.

Abstract

Forum for Digital Archaeology and Infrastructure, 1. Faszikel 2021, Digitale 3D-Modelle k��nnen auf unterschiedliche Weise und in unterschiedlicher Qualit��t hergestellt werden. Letztlich sollte aber jedes 3D-Modell bestimmte Anforderungen erf��llen, um im wissenschaftlichen Sinn als publikationsf��hig zu gelten. Dies betrifft neben der visuellen G��te ebenso technische Eigenschaften; auch hinsichtlich einer Langzeitarchivierung. Eine Pr��fung von 3D-Modellen auf ihre Qualit��t bei der Aufnahme und Publikation in Repositorien oder Online-Datenbanken erfolgt bislang zumeist nur vereinzelt und manuell. Durch die Nutzung freier Software k��nnen 3D-Modelle vor einer Publikation bez��glich der Einhaltung von Minimal-Standards automatisiert analysiert werden. Im Folgenden wird eine M��glichkeit vorgestellt, die Qualit��t eines 3D-Modells in einem einfach auszuf��hrenden Redaktionsprozess sicherzustellen.

20. The bronze cup from Dohnsen in the light of old and new evidence.

Abstract

The bronze cup found in Dohnsen (Lower Saxony, Northern Germany) in the 1950s is an enigmatic artefact that bears striking similarities with the metalwork of the Late Aegean Bronze Age. We provide an accurate review of the primary sources of information on the cup's find history and context, and present the results of previously unpublished chemical and Pb isotope analyses. The latter suggest that the vessel might have been produced from Central European ores, but it represents the metalworking skills of a travelling smith with knowledge of foreign shapes and styles.

21. Area-Optimized, Rapid UAV-Borne Recording of Medieval Heritage in Central Asia.

Abstract

Current consumer-grade UAV technology is economical, highly automated, and well-suited for large area prospection. At the same time, rapid recording of sites and monuments that cannot be preserved or protected in their entirety is becoming a key research topic. We address the critical issue of designing UAV-based workflows to maximize area coverage on a strictly limited time budget. We illustrate our rationale and the evolution of our methods and results with two case studies from Central Asia: the Medieval fortifications in the Oasis of Bukhara (Uzbekistan) and the Orkhon Valley (Mongolia), which contains a multitude of sites preserved as subtle topographic features that spread across an immense area. We discuss the appropriate use of videogrammetry to complement single-shot imagery and to provide rapid and gap-free data coverage. We also review planning tools and provide best practice guidelines (implementable at low cost) for using current, off-the-shelf hardware and software to highest efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the structure of archaeological legacy data. This is undertaken to evaluate the possibility of their integration into GIS. From this, recommendations for a GIS-optimized field method will be drawn in a first approach. The study is conducted on documentary data samples in particular mapping data from various archaeological excavation projects. The samples are mainly from excavation projects in the traditional field of german archaeology. In addition, open data sets from Great Britain are considered. The approach is intended to provide a better understanding of the structure and content of archaeological documentation data. Thus, it aims to evaluate and further develop GIS as a recording tool for archaeological fieldwork, concerning an efficient and sensible implementation and planning of field recording strategies. This work's focus and perspective are on improving the process of recording and linking documentation data from fieldwork projects directly to GIS processing. &nbsp
