“…Virtual reality makes possible the digital acquisition of an artifact or structure, allowing the recreation of faithful copies that reconstruct the experience of being in their presence. This acquisition represents a fundamental branch of archaeology, and the entire lifecycle of acquisition, processing, data analysis, archiving, and dissemination has become integrated [30].…”

The digital information that is collected during an archaeological investigation concerns all of its phases: the recording of the excavation process, the archaeological and the archaeometric analyses of the stratigraphic units and the findings, the interpretation of the results and their dissemination. All the digital materials can be displayed for a wide audience in a museum context as well as support further investigations by the researchers. This is especially applicable for 3D surveys of excavations (trenches and site surroundings) and the findings, which require some suitable applications for their display. Though there exist many digital archaeological projects and archaeological data abound in repositories, each display is a unique endeavor.This paper describes the VR system developed for the BeArchaeo project. It specifically addresses the design metaphor, based on chronology and geospace, two major dimensions in archaeology. The novelty of the system is its ability to exploit such dimensions in order to support ongoing archaeological projects, providing access to both researchers and the general public. The goal of the digitally born BeArchaeo project is a thorough archaeological and archaeometric investigation of the Kofun period in Japan, also including materials related to adjacent chronological periods. The VR system described here, called BeA-ViR, is a virtual exhibition of the ongoing project findings, deployed for both a screen-gamepad installation as well as a CAVE platform, with abstract and physical structures that concur to provide access to heterogenous materials. It also includes the realization of a central informative infrastructure that relies on a semantic database for the metadata description.

“…I did not know it then in 1999, but by "going digital" and using a geo-spatial database founded on the recording of X, Y, and Z (elevation) coordinates for every artifact and piece of data recorded in our Faynan region excavations, our research was "preadapted" to the world of scientific visualization at Qualcomm Institute, California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), University of California-San Diego (http://calit2.net/). This has led to our UC San Diego team playing a significant role in the development of cyber-archaeology on the world scene (Forte 2008(Forte , 2010Forte et al 2012Forte et al , 2015Levy 2013Levy , 2014Levy et al 2010Levy et al , 2012Levy et al , 2013Lercari et al 2016), as highlighted by this WAC-7 publication.…”
