3D Data and Visualization in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Studies
Summary

Such models are a valuable resource democratizing cultural heritage because they provide the chance to be distributed and displayed widely for analysis, display, and documentation. A focus will be the complex issues surrounding the theory of digital archaeology including democratization, para- and metadata, theories of human vision, and authenticity which will be discussed critically and in depth.
