  • The Roman villa in Oberlienz-Lesendorf, Austria. GPR Survey and Archaeological Interpretation

    Open AccessValeria Poscetti, Juan Torrejón Valdelomar et al.ARTICLEArchaeologia Austriaca2025

    In 2007, the remains of an extended Roman villa rustica, only partially known from old excavations, were detected through high-resolution GPR measurements at Oberlienz-Lesendorf (Austria). The archaeological prospection was conducted by the Vienna Institute for Archaeological Science (VIAS) in collaboration with the Department of Archaeologies of Innsbruck University and ZAMG Archeo Prospections. Despite the important discovery, the Roman villa i…

  • History and Archaeology in Discourse on the Dernberg–Reconstructing the Historical Landscape of a Medieval Motte-and-Bailey Castle and Deserted Village

    Open AccessRoland Filzwieser, David Ruß et al.ARTICLEHeritage2022References: 7

    Investigating deserted medieval castles and villages in remote rural areas paired with a scarcity of meaningful written sources is a challenging task that can be significantly enhanced by the use of non-invasive archaeological prospection methods. Furthermore, the interpolation of stratigraphic relationships among maps by analysing paths and field boundaries, as performed by Klaus Schwarz in the 1980s, can also contribute significantly. Thus, in …

  • Simulated Sky

    Open AccessGeorg Zotti, Susanne M Hoffmann et al.ARTICLEJournal of Skyscape Archaeology2021Cited by: 3References: 7

    For centuries, the rich nocturnal environment of the starry sky could be modelled only by analogue tools such as paper planispheres, atlases, globes and numerical tables. The immersive sky simulator of the twentieth century, the optomechanical planetarium, provided new ways for representing and teaching about the sky, but the high construction and running costs meant that they have not become common. However, in recent decades, “desktop planetari…

  • Serious Gaming for Virtual Archaeoastronomy

    Open AccessGeorg Zotti, Bernard Frischer et al.ARTICLEStudies in Digital Heritage2020

    Many cultures worldwide have left traces of sacred architecture and monuments which often show correlation to astronomical events like solstitial sunrises. Virtual archaeology can be used to explore such orientation patterns using digital reconstructions and positions of celestial objects computed from modern astronomical models. Most 3D editing systems used to build virtual reconstructions of such monuments however fail to provide astronomically…

  • Beyond the landscape

    Open AccessGeorg Zotti, Wolfgang NeubauerARTICLEVirtual Archaeology Review2019

    This paper describes developments in virtual archaeology that started in a research project about the possible astronomical entrance orientation of Neolithic circular ditch systems (German Kreisgrabenanlagen, KGA) of Lower Austria. Starting from data analysis in a Geographical Information System (GIS), we will cover a simple way of modelling, and discuss three ways of visualisation for the combination of landscape and human-made buildings togethe…

  • Durrington walls and the Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project 2010–2016

    Open AccessVincent Gaffney, Wolfgang Neubauer et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2018Cited by: 12References: 5

    Since 2010 the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project (SHLP) has undertaken extensive archaeological prospection across much of the landscape surrounding Stonehenge. These remote sensing and geophysical surveys have revealed a significant number of new sites and landscape features whilst providing new information on many previously known monuments. The project goal to integrate multimethod mapping over large areas of the landscape has also provided…

  • Simulation of astronomical aspects of Middle Neolithic circular ditch systems

    Open AccessGeorg Zotti, Wolfgang Neubauer et al.ARTICLEArchéoSciences2009

    Introduction The oldest Middle European monuments (approx. 4850/4750 – 4550/4500 BC) were presented in the Lower Austrian County Exhibition at Heldenberg in 2005 (Daim & Neubauer, 2005). The Middle Neolithic circular ditch systems, or Kreisgrabenanlagen (KGA), are known all over Middle Europe. These wooden monuments form a first pan-European phenomenon, crossing the cultural borders defined by the archaeological material record. One third of the …
