From Points to Pixels – a Comparison of Structured Light, Photogrammetry, and Low-Cost Lidar Approaches in Archaeological Excavation
This study aims to compare three different 3D recording technologies—structured light scanning (Artec Leo), photogrammetry (Nikon D5300/Agisoft Metashape), and low-cost LiDAR (iPhone with PolyCam)—in the context of archaeological excavation documentation. The focus has been on evaluating their relative performance in terms of geometry, texture quality, usability, and applicability in field settings. The research was conducted at the archaeologica…
A UAS lidar case study in the archaeological landscape of ancient Halos, Greece
This paper presents the technical, methodological, and preliminary archaeological results of the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) lidar experiments at the archaeological landscape of ancient Halos, executed as part of the Halos Archaeological Project of the Amsterdam Center for Ancient Studies and Archaeology, in cooperation with the Ephorate of Magnesia, the University of Groningen (till 2023) and the University of Thessaly. The main elements of thi…

Climate change, urban expansion, and agricultural intensification are increasingly threatening the Netherlands’ in situ archaeological heritage, necessitating the use of advanced methodologies for effective detection, mapping, characterizing, and monitoring of archaeological sites. Over the past decade, significant advancements in sensor technologies for remote sensing and geophysics have emerged that offer more effective, noninvasive solutions i…

Understanding Archaeological Site Topography
The current ubiquitous use of 3D recording technologies in archaeological fieldwork, for a large part due to the application of budget-friendly (drone) sensors and the availability of many low-cost image-based 3D modelling software packages, has exponentially increased the amount of 3D data of archaeological sites and landscapes. Various applications have advanced far beyond the experimental phase, such as the deployment of 3D surface recording f…
Myopic Misunderstandings
This paper engages with Nathan Meyer’s (2022) paper ‘Finding Sites in Mediterranean Survey’. Building upon longstanding critiques of Mediterranean survey practices, Meyer argues for a re-direction of survey practices. We feel that several of his core arguments reflect an unbalanced view on the role of site and off-site data in Mediterranean surveys, conflating intensive and siteless surveys. Moreover, while these critiques seem to us unnecessaril…
Scratching the Surface
Whereas archaeological field survey is relatively fast and effective for the mapping of surface finds in Mediterranean landscapes, two challenges limit its potential for reconstructing ancient settlement patterns. First, field survey usually excludes portions of the landscape that are inaccessible or present low ground visibility due to vegetation or the terrain, and second, including large settlements sites poses logistical problems, as these te…
Breakage, bias and the archaeological surface record
In the practice of archaeological field survey there is a manifest importance for densities, that is, an abundance of artifacts, often relying on simple counts of objects. However, a well‐known issue is variable breakage of pottery that can cause biases in quantitative analysis. Although such issues are generally acknowledged, a direct assessment of breakage and the resulting biases is lacking in research. This paper explores the pros and cons of…
New technology and archaeological practice. Improving the primary archaeological recording process in excavation by means of UAS photogrammetry
Evaluating background noise
This study demonstrates the potential of intensive sampling and off-site analyses to identify evidence of human activity in the past using the off-site data collected around the Italic sanctuary of S. Giovanni in Galdo, Molise, Italy. Rather than employing general and monocausal explanatory models—e.g., large-scale erosion or ancient manuring—to account for off-site material, this study examines ceramic ware variability from surface collections w…
Nemrud Dagi
This richly illustrated book presents in detail the sanctuaries built during the reign of Antiochus I of Commagene (ca. 75-36 BCE), including the three large tombs and ten cult places, and discusses Antiochus' rule in the context of his religious program and cult of the divine ruler. This book is the final publication of the results of the International Nemrud Daği Project 2001–2003
