Document Summary
Exploration - identify a site/region to investigate, set goals. Documentation - engage in excavation or survey, collect data. Interpretation - analyze data, prepare material for publication. Archaeology in the midst of a (potential) paradigm shift. The adoption of digital methods of recording vs. traditional manual (example; paper) approaches has become a significant focus of debate. Kaymakci archaeological project (kap) , located in western turkey. Adopted recording system that relies exclusively on digital work flow. Believes that it is flexible, accurate and efficient. Data from all components of a project readily available to all users. Kap emphasizes through 3-dimensional recording to provide data on every layer or feature excavated. 3-dimensional recording not just isolated to the site. Provides opportunity to reconstruct site in high resolution in detail. App now freely available that promotes fully integrated digital recording. Developed for the use at athenian agora - now available for download. Sangro valley project - located in italy.
