The Apple Vision Pro: Useful Mixed/Augmented Reality (MR/AR) Headset for Archaeology or Not Quite There Yet
Overview Digital eXtended Reality technologies enable users to view and interact with spaces and objects in three dimensions (3D), thus supporting a variety of potential innovative embodied applications in archaeology. Here, we review the Apple Vision Pro as a Mixed/Augmented Reality (MR/AR) headset to determine where it might fit within current archaeological practice. Our interest in this device spans primary field data collection, in situ visu…
Defending the Vedi River Valley of Armenia: The Fortification and Refortification of a Flatland-Mountain Interface
The mountainous topography of the Armenian Highlands and the South Caucasus accentuates the importance of valleys as areas of habitation and as conduits among these interspersed settlement areas. The Vedi River Valley of Armenia, located along the southeastern edge of the Ararat Plateau (Plain), serves as one such important transportation route in and through these highland areas. At the center of the mouth of this valley sits the prominent Vedi …
Experiments with Mixed and Augmented Reality (MR/AR) for Archaeological Data Collection and Use During Fieldwork: Vision for the Future
Most prior uses of mixed and augmented reality (MR/AR) in archaeology have focused on tourism, museums, and education, but we see bright potential for using 3D immersive technologies directly during active excavations. As a first step towards this vision, we ran four experiments with three different head-mounted hardware devices during our fieldwork in the South Caucasus. The devices are the Vuzix Blade 2 AR smart glasses, as well as the Microsof…
Foregrounding Daily Data Collection on Archaeological Fieldwork
Overview Daily data collection during archaeological fieldwork forms the basis for later interpretation and analysis. Across the world, we observe a wide variety of digital data collection methods and tools employed during fieldwork. Here, we detail the daily practices at four recent survey and excavation projects in the South Caucasian country of Armenia. As archaeology continues to become ever more digital, it is useful to consider these day-to…
Study of the Stone Age in the Republic of Armenia (Part 1 – Lower Palaeolithic)
The area encompassing the modern Republic of Armenia lies within the Armenian highlands and is situated at the very core of a dynamic corridor between Africa and Eurasia. As such, Armenia proves critical for understanding the initial stages of human settlement and the formation of ancient civilisations in the Near East and beyond. Stone Age artefacts have been known to exist within the territory of Armenia since the end of the 19th century, and t…
The Vayots Dzor Project (VDP): A preliminary overview of the first three years’ activities (2016-2018)
The Vayots Dzor Project (VDP) is an Armenian-Italian archaeological research project involving both survey and excavation activities, conducted in accordance with an agreement between IAE NAS RA (Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography NAS RA) and ISMEO-International Association of Mediterranean and Oriental Studies, co-funded by IAE NAS RA, Gfoeller Renaissance Foundation of USA, ISMEO and MAECI (Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Internat…
