Reviews

'The 3D documentation of every layer in a single context excavation is highly unusual, having only been attempted a few times. Although the workflow is very complicated, this has the potential to be a visualisation/analytical game changer.' Dr James Taylor, University of York 'We are still at the beginning of true 3D-documentation of archaeological excavations. Recent advancement in technology is opening new possibilities for 3D-documentation of archaeological sites, and this work comes at a very good time. It will be of great interest for other researchers.' Espen Uleberg, Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo

Author Information

Undine Lieberwirth studied Prehistoric and Classical Archaeology and specialised in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with Geospatial Databases. Her scientific interests lie in researching efficient and sustainable applications of the Digital Humanities in Ancient Studies. A particular focus is on three-dimensional data acquisition, modelling and analysis. She has been experimenting with voxel depiction of archaeological stratigraphy in GIS since 2007. To achieve reliable results, she specialized in 3D digital documentation methods such as laser scanning, became a drone pilot and learned and taught the processing of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)-data using the Structure from Motion method.
