3D Technologies and Archaeology

The use of digital survey techniques has transformed how archaeologists set about detection, recording, analysis and presentation of objects, monuments and landscapes. The exponential increase in computing power means ever more complex, detailed and accurate datasets can be collected, opening up new possibilities to the study of the historic environment. This talk will discuss some of the ways that new surveying technologies and 3D recording techniques have revolutionised field archaeology and the information that can be extracted from these new datasets.
