  • Sharing Archaeology: Introduction
    1 Sharing Archaeology: Introduction Peter Stone I used to stay with Peter Ucko, and his partner Jane Hubert, on my frequent visits to London for work, and in the period between 2003 and 2007 we always discussed Peter’s beloved ‘China Project’. I had been Peter’s PhD student years before in Southampton, and had worked closely with Peter and Jane since the mid 1980s, as we built and nurtured the World Archaeological Congress (WAC) (Ucko 1987, Stone 2006). My visits were a way of keeping in touch and I would always try to arrange meetings so that I could stay with them: we would talk of old times, and my children as they grew up; of how WAC was continuing to develop (during this time I was honorary Chief Executive Officer of WAC while Peter and Jane had stopped having any direct role in the organisation); of how our respective universities were dealing with the rapid changes in UK Higher Education; of our current projects and of our plans for the future. Peter had taught me to think broadly about our subject and that inevitably meant thinking and acting internationally. He constantly wanted to see new places and meet new colleagues, not to teach those elsewhere (frequently in less economically fortunate parts of the world) about so-called ‘best-practice’, but to debate and learn from each other. Given our WAC perspectives, such colleagues were, of course, not only other archaeologists but academics from a wide range of disciplines, as well as indigenous experts and others with an interest in, and knowledge of, the past and its relevance both in the present and to the future.

  • Use of Photogrammetry for Digital Surveying, Documentation and Communication of Cultural Heritage
    Use of Photogrammetry for Digital Surveying, Documentation and Communication of Cultural Heritage. The Case of Virtual Reconstruction of the Access Doors for the Nameless Temple of Tipasa (Algeria) BAYA BENNOUI-LADRAA, National Center for Archaeological Research, Algeria YOUCEF CHENNAOUI, Polytechnic School of Architecture and Urbanism, Algeria This paper presents a methodological contribution to the field of the process of archaeological restoration based on virtual anastylosis. In particular, we treat the reconstruction of fragments of the nameless Temple of Tipasa in Algeria. Our work is focused more specifically on the virtual restoration of the three access doors into the temple’s sacred courtyard. Here, we have found many fragments, including the voussoirs, which were revealed during excavation, encouraging the development of our hypothesis about the original condition of the temple. The protocol followed is based on the photogrammetric survey of the blocks, which has allowed us to generate 3D models of the elements constituting the entrance facade into the sacred courtyard. The historical documentation as well as architectural treatises made it possible to fill in the gaps in the evidence with the aim of reconstructing the temple as best as can be done. The main objective of the research was to provide a corpus of data in 2D and 3D of all the blocks which served, at first, for the documentation and the study of the remains. Secondarily, the same documentation proved useful for development of a hypothesis of virtual reconstitution for making more comprehensible to the general public the history of the site of Tipasa. Key words: Photogrammetry, 3D Reconstruction, Virtual Anastylosis, Corpus, Temple.

Independentei, 060021 Bucharest, Romania; radu_claudiu_fi[email protected] (R.C.F.); [email protected] (M.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-727-860-186 Received: 17 December 2019; Accepted: 7 February 2020; Published: 9 February 2020 Abstract: Vernacular buildings are usually constructed using materials at hand, including wood, natural stone and bricks (either clay or mud bricks). All those materials are exposed to a series of environmental factors, affecting their structure and integrity. The literature review was conducted using different databases (Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink) using as keywords the historical material, “heritage” and the terms regarding the desired effect, within the envisaged time period (2010–2019). The assessment of the results was performed by manual inspection (reading the entire article) and the selection of the works to be inserted in the current review was made by evaluating the contribution to the field. This review summarizes different aspects related to the restoration and conservation of wooden and masonry elements of traditional buildings, including materials used for biocidal interventions, protection against abiotic factors, cleaning and consolidation agents. Finally, a critical discussion regarding the current limitations and future perspectives concludes the review work, envisaging the role of researchers specialized in materials science in the context of cultural heritage conservation.

    Loyola University Chicago John Felice Rome Center ClSt 334R: Introduction to Classical Archaeology in Rome and Italy Tuesdays 9:00 AM—12:00 PM JFRC + ON-SITE Instructor: Albert Prieto, M.Litt, PhD (Classics, History, Archaeology), [email protected] Office hours (faculty office): Tuesdays/Thursdays 3:00-3:30 and by appointment Introduction and Course Description What field allows you to study artifacts made by people 2000 years ago, read timeless literature, uncover and study ancient ruins in the open air while developing muscle tone and a tan, discover what ancient people ate and what diseases they had, reconstruct ancient religious beliefs, employ advanced digital technology to “see” what’s under the ground without digging, use a VR headset to immerse yourself in a reconstructed ancient setting, fly a drone, and ponder the Earth’s surface from the air or space? The answer is classical, or Greco-Roman, archaeology. This course introduces you to the surprisingly wide, often weird, and occasionally whimsical world of archaeology in Rome and Italy. We will start at the very beginning of the archaeological process, learning who the Romans were, how their society evolved historically, what kinds of tangible and intangible cultural assets they created, what happened to those assets after the inevitable collapse of the Roman Empire, and how centuries later people began the slow and steady process of reconstructing an accurate picture of a “lost” civilization from the many types of evidence left behind. Mention “archaeology,” and the first thing that invariably comes to mind is excavation: indeed, we will learn what modern archaeological excavation is (as opposed to digging for treasure) and what kinds of information it can retrieve for us.

ABSTRACT: This paper is the first report about the development of a methodology for the virtual Anastylosis of elements belonging to an archaeological site, based on the 3d modeling of fragments. This research is the result of the cooperation between Università Roma Tre, Dipartimento di Architettura and Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali; several 3D survey, modeling, information systems and archaeology experts were involved. The purpose of the research was to study the complex and stratified site of the Arch of Titus at the Circus Maximus aiming, first of all, at completing the existing traditional graphic documentation using cataloguing and survey innovative methodologies, and, secondly, at supporting new proposals for the reconstruction and Anastylosis of the Arch itself. This tested methodology whose fundamental element is the three-dimensional textured model of each fragment, can also be used in other sites and contexts.

  • SITE of PALMYRA - Citadel - Museum - Archaeological Site
    TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WORKSHOP FOR THE WORLD HERITAGE SITES OF THE CRAC DES CHEVALIERS, PALMYRA AND THE ANCIENT CITY OF DAMASCUS Beirut 13, 14, 15 December 2016 SITE OF PALMYRA - Citadel - Museum - Archaeological site 22 March 2017 Pierre‐André LABLAUDE Salvatore RUSSO PALMYRA CITADEL Aerial view of Palmyra Citadel in 1927 Historic and geographic context of the monument Originally built in the 13th century and then reinforced in the 16th century by Fakhr ed‐Din al Maany, the Qalat Ibn Maany castle, also known as the "Mamluk citadel", is located on a rocky peak overlooking the Ancient city of Palmyra to the East. Following a common construction system at that time, it was surrounded by a defensive ditch dug in the rock. The materials extracted from the digging were used for the construction of the citadel itself. The shape of the wall of the citadel is roughly triangular and is punctuated at its periphery by a series of rectangular towers which are not very prominent. Most of them are crenellated, which provides the monument a particular grandness. The wall appears to have foundations built alternately by roughly squared rock blocks and layers of smaller fragments. All being connected by a mortar made of plaster and lime. The fight that took place on 25 March 2016 for regaining control over the city resulted in major destruction and mainly affected the eastern front of the citadel, where the sole entrance is located. The monument was inaccessible between 25 March and 11 December 2016 due to the destruction of its access bridge and possible mining.
