Three-dimensional recording in the archaeological excavation at the Bronze Age settlement of Mursia, Pantelleria.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe methods of documentation and detection techniques used on the archaeological site of Mursia (Pantelleria, TP) in order to build three-dimensional models of a hut and a stone mortar. The software measures three-dimensional coordinates of a finite set of points on the object using two photographs taken from different positions (stereo pairs). In particular, we explore some technical aspects of data processing like quickness, measurement accuracy, information content of record and equipments cost.
