Exploring Spectral Imaging as a Tool for Stratigraphic Analysis

The research project examines the application of digital image analysis techniques for archaeological field documentation. We develop and apply semi-automated algorithms in order to achieve a more objective perspective on archaeological documentation and promote a standardised workflow. One overarching aim of the project is to examine quantitative possibilities to complement traditional perception-based interpretation of stratigraphy without the need of complex laboratory work.

This dissertation project was successfully completed within the Research Group A-1 Ancient colonizations of marginal habitats of the Excellence Cluster 264 Topoi.
