“…As shown in the literature, there is a growing use of GIS and image processing with TLS surveys, which relate the 3D models to 2D maps; low-resolution models are created and mapped, documenting the starting information in 3D and expanding the information as images [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. A new methodology is developed in this article-a 3D controlled conversion to 2D and 2.5D-that operates without interpolations and reduces the loss of base information, enabling the conversion of new information generated in 2D and 2.5D to a 3D model (point cloud), recording the rasters as a database.…”

“…With precise control of data transformations, the conversion of 2.5D to 3D can be achieved, which is a necessity for the patrimonial documentation [20][21][22][23][24], to the point of generating programs for the work of 3D images [25][26][27][28]. This analysis is possible thanks to the use of a geographic information system (GIS) on complex buildings [29,30].…”

Geometric Analysis on Stone Façades with Terrestrial Laser Scanner Technology

This article presents a methodology to process information from a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) from three dimensions (3D) to two dimensions (2D), and to two dimensions with a color value (2.5D), as a tool to document and analyze heritage buildings. Principally focused on the loss of material in stone, this study aims at creating an evaluation method for loss control, taking into account the state of conservation of a building in terms of restoration, from studying the pathologies, to their identification and delimitation. A case study on the Cathedral of the Seu Vella de Lleida was completed, examining the details of the stone surfaces. This cathedral was affected by military use, periods of abandonment, and periodic restorations.

“…It is perhaps the developments in 3D digitisation, however, that most headway is gained. For example, the increasing digitisation in the field, 'at the trowel's edge', allowing onsite interpretation and digital documentation (Dell'Unto et al 2017), some of the in situ preservation issues highlighted earlier can be addressed. Feasibly the documentation of 3D landscapes in GIS can be envisioned for the future of historic environment practice, enabling the pathways to 'new levels of cognition' (Kenderdine 2016, 23) that visualisation can offer users of any background.…”

As a mainstay of local and national cultural heritage management, historic environment records play an effective role in the dissemination of data, particularly in the modern development control process. However, despite their functionality and sustained professional use, these inventories are not unproblematic, particularly in regards to informal usage. Based on the author's professional experience this article will discuss some of the issues which convolute the delivery of historic environment data. These issues can be grouped thematically beneath the banners of fragmentation, interoperability, and accessibility. Underpinning these three topics is the relationship between historic environment records as institutions and digitality as both a cognitive process and a distribution mechanism. From a critical perspective, the extent to which these issues reoccur and inhibit the flow of data will be highlighted by examining the historic environment practice in England and Sweden in the hope that these insights can inform the contemporary approach.

“…Addressing some of these issues, many publications from 2017 demonstrate prospects for the ever‐developing suite of digital tools at our disposal, such as photogrammetry and 3D modeling of artifacts, sites, and landscapes (Dell'Unto et al. ; Delpiano, Peresani, and Pastoors ; Garstki ; Hanot et al. ; Hermon et al.…”

These annual review essays focus on what we as archaeologists are doing year by year. Many themes continue on from review to review, waxing and waning, not unlike the bell curves of a traditional pottery seriation.Each year, themes are highlighted and presented in varied ways according to the orientation and aims of the reviewer. All do a masterful job of curating the vast range of what archaeologists were, in each annual period, currently producing. My review follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, summarizing an array of new and exciting research, and describing how agendas presented in 2017 cluster around sets of related questions and aims. It will also look at the growing literature that asks, in one way or another, fundamental questions about what archaeology really is and why we pursue it. In this time when the value of academic pursuits and scientific perspectives are being highly scrutinized in politics and popular culture, archaeologists are faced with the uncomfortable question of "What is it, really, that we should be doing?" [archaeology, current issues, public archaeology, digital archaeology] RESUMEN Estos ensayos de revisión anual se enfocan en lo que como arqueólogos estamos haciendo año tras año. Muchos temas continúan de revisión en revisión, creciendo o menguando, no muy diferente de las curvas en forma de campana de la seriación de la cerámica tradicional. Cada año, temas son enfatizados y presentados de varias maneras de acuerdo a la orientación y metas del crítico. Todos hacen un trabajo magistral de organizar un rango vasto de lo que los arqueólogos estaban, en cada período anual, realmente produciendo. Mi revisión sigue los pasos de sus predecesores, resumiendo una colección de nueva y emocionante investigación, y describiendo cómo las agendas presentadas en el 2017 se agrupan alrededor de juegos de cuestiones y metas relacionadas.También examina la creciente literatura que pregunta, de una manera u otra, cuestiones fundamentales acerca de lo que la arqueología realmente es y por qué nos dedicamos a ella. En este tiempo cuando el valor de los empeños académicos y las perspectivas científicas están siendo altamente escrutados en política y cultura popular, los arqueólogos se enfrentan a la pregunta incomoda de "¿Qué es lo que realmente deberíamos estar haciendo?"[arqueología, cuestiones actuales, arqueología pública, arqueología digital] ARCHAEOLOGICAL FRAGMENTATION?While the theme of what such a diverse discipline should be subtly undergirds much of the literature, a number of 2017 articles, each in a very different way, directly address the very nature of what archaeology is and why we practice it. In the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, Assaf Nativ (2017, 55) asks us to reconsider our notions of the
