Archaeoinformatics (Topoi A-III-6)

“Is archaeological stratigraphy measurable?” The research question aims to quantify archaeological stratigraphy in order to create digital 3D models for further analysis. The project hence investigates the different parameters for creating these models. At the current research stage it is not yet clear if the chosen parameters are suitable to meet the aims described above.

The project focuses on methodological basic research in the field of archaeoinformatics using 3D GIS (Geographic Information System) application and analysis systems. The final model will contain of voxel, a possibility of graphical depiction of volume objects with quantified attribute information. The voxel model is placed in a GIS-environment with an attached geodatabase.
