Digital Documentation of Cultural Heritage Sites
Masada archaeological site, Israel
The digital documentation methodology through laser scanning is applied on the archaeological site of Masada. This is a research project that is spread over 3 years, during which the whole archaeological site of Masada is documented through laser scanning and photogrammetry (from the ground and from the air). The point cloud that results from this documentation serves as a raw data base and from there 2D drawings, details and 3D meshes are extracted. The research explores how to combine the different methodologies for purposes of documentation; compares them and concludes on their advantages and disadvantages. Further, it deals with data management of such complex data bases and their contribution to our understanding of the archaeological site.
