“…GPR is increasingly being used as a non-destructive testing method and subsurface imaging technique for the evaluation of structural integrity, geometry, configuration and physical properties of industrial transportation and civil infrastructure resources (Saarenketo 2009), geological features and archaeology at cultural heritage structures (Pérez-Grarcia et al 2013;Santos-Assunçao et al 2014;Ranieri et al 2016). Numerous recent studies, however, have used terrestrial laser scan (TLS) and photogrammetry techniques at archaeological and architectural heritage sites to aid documentation, assessment, modelling, monitoring, management and preservation planning (El-Hakim et al 2007;Pavlidis et al 2007;Alkheder, Al-shawabkh and Haala 2009;Domingo et al 2013;Núñez, Buill and Edo 2013;Tapete et al 2013;Yang, Xu and Neumann 2014;Castellazzi et al 2015;Constanzo et al 2015;Hakonen, Kuusela and Okkonen 2015;Jaklič et al 2015;Plisson and Zotkina 2015; Altunas, Yildiz and Scaioni 2016 -amongst many others), but less frequently in conjunction with other near-surface geophysical data (Entwistle, MCCaffrey and Abrahams 2009;Lubowiecka et al, 2009Lubowiecka et al, , 2011Rogers 2014;Watters and Wilkes 2014).

Alcatraz Island National Historic Landmark is best known as a former high‐security federal penitentiary that once housed many of the United States most notorious gangsters. Today, it is a popular tourist destination adjacent to the Golden Gate Bridge in scenic San Francisco Bay. Alcatraz is less known in its former military role as a 19th‐century coastal fortification protecting the interests of a rapidly westward‐expanding nation during the turbulent era of Manifest Destiny, the 1849 Gold Rush and the Civil War. The fortification, with its underground ammunition magazines and tunnels, is important from a military history perspective, marking the transition to earthen structures from the traditional brick and masonry constructions that characterized earlier 19th‐century coastal defences. In this paper, geophysical interpretations based upon an attribute analysis of ground‐penetrating radar data are combined with terrestrial laser scans, georectifications based on historical documents, maps and photographs to develop an iterative model for locating and determining the extent and integrity of subsurface historical architectural remains beneath the former recreation yard of the Alcatraz penitentiary. Using this approach, remnants of buried structures including a ‘bombproof’ earthwork traverse and its underlying vaulted brick masonry tunnel and ventilation ducts were discovered to run east‐west beneath the recreation yard. This integrative and iterative process permits accurate spatial identification of these and other 19th‐century architectural structures depicted in historical documents. This approach can be applied to subsurface investigations at other important cultural landmarks worldwide.

“…Usability and quality of these methods in single sites has been studied only recently as well (e.g., Paukkonen 2023;Hakonen et al 2015). The only exception to this void is the subfield of Finnish maritime archaeology, where an overview of its history has been published including some notes on the used documentation and measurement methodologies -however, no actual statistics are included there, either (Marila & Ilves 2021).…”

The realities of archaeological fieldwork have been revolutionized by new digital documentation methods. Among these are various new ways to produce photorealistic and/or accurate 3D measurements, namely photogrammetry and laser scanning. They have become well known technologies but the actual frequency of their use in day-today fieldwork has not been studied before. The ‘Quality instructions on archaeological fieldwork' (Arkeologisten kenttätöiden laatuohjeet) document, published by the Finnish Heritage Agency in 2013, states that all archaeological reports have to mention the technologies and methods used. Using a collection of some 3600 digitized reports from between 2013 and 2022 I show how widespread the use of these novel methods has actually been during the decade in Finland, and what are the implications of their use. What kind of actors are the most prevalent users? Have the methods been widely adopted, or are some more traditional methods still more popular?

“…Laser scanning has been developing into a standard tool for cultural heritage and research applications have been ranging from heritage preservation and sites conservation to architectural heritage [8,9,10]. Sites and structures, statues and monuments with historic significance can be monitored in their existing situation, hence allowing relevant professionals and organisations keeping a record of their evolution within time.…”

Scan to BIM: the development of a clear workflow for the incorporation of point clouds within a BIM environment AbstractThe emergence in recent years of technology to support the use of data rich models within architecture has significantly aided the uptake of building information modelling. Simultaneously, there has been a rapid expansion in the capabilities and widespread use of 3D high definition laser scanning technology. Although laser scanning has often been associated with industries outside of architecture and building (including heavy engineering and oil and gas installations), the potential to record the existing built environment is clear. Indeed, well-established concepts within building and materials conservation concerning the importance of being able to accurately monitor and recognise the importance of surface characteristics are well suited to the use of scanning to capture geometrical idiosyncrasies as well as designed detail. Likewise, the ability to capture structures which are well outside the physical reach of the expert makes the accurate recording of large scale buildings and streetscapes possible, and at a speed and level of accuracy which was not feasible even 15 years ago. This paper concerns a series of workflow stages which are required to incorporate the output of laser scan data within a BIM environment. Although it is possible to import point clouds within industry standard BIM software, in order to make best use of the highly accurate and often massive data files a certain amount of post-processing and modelling is required. We describe a process whereby cloud data can be transformed to produce representative surface meshes, and explore how the resultant models can be linked with meta data within the BIM environment. The development of methods to help the incorporation of already existing environments within BIM will be of great value within FM, building conservation and new design alike. Therefore, the refinement and adoption of clear methods to support such work is a vital step towards BIM maturation.
