African Red Slip Ware Digital (ARS3D) - Comparison (Archaeology)
<p>Characteristic of the North African bowls, plates, and jugs are their pictorial decorations applied mainly by appliqués and stamps. As mass-produced image carriers and everyday objects, the ARS spread throughout the empire.</p> <p>The range of motifs includes mythological scenes as well as scenes from the Old and New Testament, circus, arena and hunting scenes as well as fish and plant motifs. The appliqués-decorated pottery thus provides insights into Late Antique imagination and its changes, as well as into the economic history of the period between the 3rd and 5th centuries AD in North Africa.</p> <p>Previous documentation methods were not able to capture the objects and their decoration in an adequate way. The digital recording of the RGZM's collections by 3D scans allows to compare potentially identical appliqués and to assign them to their negative forms and the corresponding stamps.</p> <p>Whereas vessel curvature previously falsified the assignment of appliqués and models, 3D analysis and visualisation tools now allow a comparison . Metadata created for each object increases the effectiveness and accuracy of determining image context and content. Issues related to the production of the ARS and the process flows within the workshops can be investigated through the analysis of the 3D data.</p> <p>The developed ontology uses CIDOC CRM and various extensions. The data mainly consists of objects (E24), on which e.g. applications (features, E25) can be found. These objects can be described semantically, e.g. by the shape or time epoch. Features are described with observations, e.g. a human type man standing and wearing a beard. These observations lead to interpretations whose arguments can be observations.</p>

Drone orthomosaic and digital elevation model of the Atanikerluk archaeological site in NW Greenland
<p>This dataset consists of a digital elevation model (DEM) and an orthomosaic of the Atanikerluk archaeological site (NKAH 1724), located on the Nuussuaq Peninsula in NW Greenland near the settlement of Saqqaq. The DEM and orthomosaic were produced from 612 aerial images that were acquired by a DJI Phantom 3 drone. The images were processed using Agisoft Metashape Professional (version 1.7.1) following protocols established by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) for drone surveys of coastal regions (Over et al., 2021). Five ground control points were distributed throughout the survey area. The drone survey of the Atanikerluk site was conducted as part of the Vaigat Iceberg-Microbial Oil Degradation and Archaeological Heritage Investigation (VIMOA) project, which was funded by the Danish Centre for Marine Research and supported by the Arctic Research Centre at Aarhus University, in affiliation with the National Museum of Denmark, the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, and The Greenland National Museum and Archives in Nuuk. Proper archaeological permits for the survey were obtained in advance from the Greenland National Museum and Archives in Nuuk. Walsh et al. (2020) provide an overview of the archaeological surveys conducted during the VIMOA project.</p> <p>Over et al.

Surface Survey and Legacy Data in the Upper Plain of the Heraion of Perachora: The Perachora Peninsula Archaeological Project 2020 [Digital Supplement with updated polygons from 2020]
<p><strong>The digital Supplement </strong>contains figures in original size (TIFF) & digital data (SHP, CSV). The data can be also found in the linked GitHub repository <a href="https://github.com/sdam-au/perachora-medit-arch/">https://github.com/sdam-au/perachora-medit-arch/</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>The Perachora Peninsula Archaeological Project held its first season of intensive surface survey from 12 January to 2 February 2020, during which time we focused on the region called the Upper Plain, situated above the sanctuary of Hera, which was in use from the 8th to the 2nd century BC. The nature of this area has been disputed, with Humfry Payne seeing it as a substantial town, while Richard Tomlinson referred to it as “a sporadic scatter of structures.” In order to clarify the nature of the settlement we employed a two-pronged effort: first to verify and document the legacy data in Tomlinson’s plan of the area, and second to conduct intensive surface survey from the boundary of the sanctuary to Lake Vouliagmeni. Within three weeks, our teams measured, photographed, and took the coordinates of nearly all the structures on Tomlinson’s plan, which included domestic structures, a small temple, and an extensive waterworks system, and several that had not been previously recorded. Building A 1 and the Fountain House were cleared and recorded using photogrammetry. The survey’s finds informed our legacy data verification efforts. Densities across all land types were high: nearly 23,000 artefacts were counted, and all but nine survey units produced artefacts. A preliminary analysis of the ceramics indicates a consistent habitation from the Archaic through the Classical period. Concentrations of miniature votives and fine wares were also found on hillsides, possibly indicating open-air shrines. Our work also highlights the need to conserve the structures in the Upper Plain.</p>

The state of digital archaeological archiving policies and practice [questionnaire survey results]
<p>The digital transition in archaeology is often taken for granted, yet the process is far from complete. The topic of digital archiving has been addressed by both the EAC Working Group for Archaeological Archives and the SEADDA project. These two entities joined forces to produce a special issue of the Internet Archaeology journal, bringing together papers on digital archiving practices in over two dozen countries (Richards et al. 2021). The papers were later analysed by EAC and SEADDA to compare the international situation. The results reveal both shared difficulties associated with the issue of documentary archives worldwide and examples of good practices that help to overcome these problems.</p> <p>A questionnaire survey was also carried out to complement the findings resulting from the interpretation of the published articles with supporting data covering the whole European area in a balanced way. The survey allowed for the compilation of an overview of the situation in 27 countries (30 regions) of Europe. All respondents were experts involved in digital archiving and/or heritage data management in individual countries. Based on the collected information, the disproportion in value of archaeological data and their position within heritage management practice is already proving to be a major shortcoming. Presented dataset contains the questionnaire and the survey results, serving as complementary material to the published interpretation (Novák et al. <em>forthcoming</em>).</p> <p>References:</p> <p>Novák, D. - Oniszczuk, A. - Gumbert, B. <em>forthcoming</em>: Digital archaeological archiving policies and practice in Europe: the EAC call for action.
