Detection of subsurface features using geophysical methods is an important component of archaeological research. Most geophysical methods suffer from loss of resolution with depth and are most successful when employed on hyper‐shallow targets. We present a novel imaging method that utilizes summation of diffracted seismic energy in the depth domain to image the subsurface and detect areas of material contrasts, which is especially useful for detecting subsurface voids. The diffraction imaging (DI) method was validated in a synthetic case and in two archaeological sites where known ancient tunnels exist and then employed in the ancient copper ore district of Timna Valley (southern Israel). The results demonstrate the feasibility of the DI method to detect ancient underground mining galleries that connected between (now blocked) mining shafts, which in turn constitutes a significant contribution to the study of ancient prospection and mining technologies and related social and historical aspects.

“…Three days later, the defenders of the castle surrendered and then were forced to demolish it with their own hands (Amitai, 2005). Arsur was consequently abandoned and never resettled (Galor et al, 2009). Two tunnels were discovered at Apollonia-Arsuf, both are associated with the Mamluk conquest of Arsur.…”

“…The current Apollonia-Arsuf, Israel, excavations are directed by Oren Tal, Tel Aviv University, who has been testing and using REVEAL for four years [5,6]. The site (on the shore of modern Herzliya) is comprised mostly of a Crusader period castle, but also encompasses a Roman villa, Byzantine Church, and Islamic market (and remains date back to the Chalcolithic period).…”

It can be frustrating to ensure that cultural heritage work, from archaeological excavations to historic surveys, is documented fully and that the evidence is recorded properly and thoroughly. Automated computer-based documentation and research tools would seem to offer many benefits. They can be more accurate and cost effective, saving time and ensuring that all finds and their contexts are appropriately and fully recorded. And if designed well, new digital field data acquisition systems can enable new types of hypothesis testing, new insight into the past, and new visualizations that in turn can lead to a paradigm shift in how heritage sites are managed and information disseminated.There have been many computer-based data collection systems for heritage management; many databases, many digital archives, and many digital publication options. REVEAL is special. The project uses computer-vision, pattern-recognition, and machine-learning research to augment applications for archaeology and the humanities.REVEAL is a single piece of (free and open-source) software that coordinates all data types (e.g., photos, drawings, 3D models, and tabular information) with semi-automated tools for documenting sites, trenches and objects, recording excavation and site-evaluation progress, researching and analyzing the collected evidence, and creating 3D models and virtual worlds. Search and retrieval, building interactive visualizations, and testing hypotheses against the recorded material can all happen in real time, as the work proceeds. That is an important advance. Thus, REVEAL could be the only one software package that heritage fieldworkers might ever need. This paper will discuss and demonstrate this ground-breaking software toolkit.
