  • Resolution Underwater Robotic Vision‐
    High-Resolution Underwater Robotic Vision-Based Mapping and Three-Dimensional Reconstruction for Archaeology •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Matthew Johnson-Roberson University of Michigan Mitch Bryson, Ariell Friedman, and Oscar Pizarro The University of Sydney Giancarlo Troni Pontificia Universidad Catolica´ de Chile Paul Ozog University of Michigan Jon C. Henderson University of Nottingham Documenting underwater archaeological sites is an extremely challenging problem. Sites covering large areas are particularly daunting for traditional techniques. In this paper, we present a novel approach to this problem using both an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a diver-controlled stereo imaging platform to document the submerged Bronze Age city at Pavlopetri, Greece. The result is a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction covering 26,600 m2 at a resolution of 2 mm/pixel, the largest-scale underwater optical 3D map, at such a resolution, in the world to date. We discuss the advances necessary to achieve this result, including i) an approach to color correct large numbers of images at varying altitudes and over varying bottom types; ii) a large-scale bundle adjustment framework that is capable of handling upward of 400,000 stereo images; and iii) a novel approach to the registration and rapid documentation of an underwater excavations area that can quickly produce maps of site change.

    GREECE • CRETE • TURKEY MAY 28 - JUNE 22, 2021 Tour Hosts: Dr. Scott Moore Dr. Jason Whitlark organized by GREECE - CRETE - TURKEY / May 28 - June 22, 2021 May 31 Mon ATHENS - CORINTH CANAL - CORINTH – ACROCORINTH - NAFPLION At 8:30a.m. depart from Athens and drive along the coastal highway of Saronic Gulf. Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site. In the afternoon we will drive to GREECE CRETE TURKEY Nafplion for check-in at hotel followed by dinner and overnight.

  • Through a Glass Darkly': Obsidian And
    `THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY': OBSIDIAN AND SOCIETY IN THE SOUTHERN AEGEAN EARLY BRONZE AGE Tristan Carter Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. in the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, London University. August 1998. BILL LONDON U1JIV. THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY': OBSIDIAN AND SOCIETY IN THE SOUTHERN AEGEAN EARLY BRONZE AGE. Tristan Carter VOLUMEI TEXT and BIBLIOGRAPHY i -ABSTRACT- This thesis considers the social context of Southern Aegean lithic technology during the fourth - third millennia B.C., focusing on the socio-political significance accorded the production and consumption of obsidian blades from the later Neolithic - Early Bronze Age. In Section One (Chapters One-Five) past work on Aegean obsidian is examined critically. Through drawing on data generated by recent surveys and excavations in the southern mainland, the Cyclades and Crete, it is argued that from the later Neolithic - EBII, the working of obsidian shifted from a community-wide basis to being located within a restricted number of settlements. These latter sites, due to their size and associated material culture, are suggested regional centres, acting as loci for skilled knappers and the dissemination of their products. This ability to influence or directly control such individuals is claimed to have played a role in the development of social inequality. The central part of the thesis, Section Two (Chapters Six-Nine) discusses the appearance of fine obsidian blades within the EBI Cycladic burial record, arguing that this new mode of consumption provides a context where one can see the reconceptualisation and political appropriation of lithic technology.

On the north steep sloppy bottom of Modi, at a depth of 27-40 metres, a concentration of large transport vessels were located (pithoi, amphorae and hydriae) some of them intact and most of them in fragmentary condition . During preliminary research (2005 , 2006 and 2007 campaigns) and the systematic excavation that followed (2009 and 2010), the scientific team of HIMA worked intensively in order to survey the wreck, raise and evaluate the remains of the ceramic cargo.

  • Euser. a Strategic Protection Scheme for the Submerged Bronze Age
    ‘Under the Mediterranean’ The Honor Frost Foundation Conference on Mediterranean Maritime Archaeology 20th – 23rd October 2017 Short Report Series doi: https://doi.org/10.33583/utm2020.10 © 2020 The Author A Strategic Protection Scheme for the Submerged Bronze Age Town at Pavlopetri Barbara Euser President, Greek Chapter of Alliance for the Restoration of Cultural Heritage (ARCH), Neapolis, Greece The Bronze Age site of Pavlopetri is the oldest submerged city in the world, with indications also of earlier Neolithic occupation. At eight hectares, it is the largest area of Bronze Age ruins on mainland Greece. The fragile ruins are threatened by pollution, rotting posidonia weed, sand movement, nearby tankers, tourist boats anchoring on the site and casual tourist pilfering. Since the first mapping in 1968, the ruins have been mapped again to modern standards during 2009-2012 using Total Station and AUVs. The condition of the ruins has been monitored continuously since 2008. The ruins are degrading more rapidly than expected. Since 2014, the Greek Chapter of the Alliance for the Restoration of Cultural Heritage (ARCH) has worked within the local community and up and down the political-bureaucratic spectrum to preserve and protect Pavlopetri, including work with UNESCO, EU, Greek government agencies, World Monuments Fund, Greek Coastguard, and local schools. We have made powerful contacts locally and at every level of academic and European and Greek politics. We effectively educated key players and used negotiation and diplomacy to gain support and advance our goal. Greek ARCH has developed a strategic program of protection. The site must be protected for future archaeological research, and for current public enjoyment and access.
