Sperimentazione di smart device equipaggiati con GPS per guide multimediali di siti archeologici
2009
In last years several methodologies have been developed for guided tours of cultural heritage supported by handheld computers (PocketPC). The instruments used for this purpose are pocketPC, possibly equipped with a GPS receiver, which offer contents related to the place where the visitor is at that moment. This paper concerns the design of an innovative multimedia guide running on handheld computers to support the visit of archaeological sites. To that end the performances of various mobile phones and pocketPCs, equipped with low-cost GPS, have been tested; an application software developed by the Palermo research Unit has been installed into these devices to locate in real time the positio…
Design and implementation of an augmented reality application for rock art visualization in Cova dels Cavalls (Spain)
2019
[EN] Prehistoric rock art paintings, specifically rock-shelters exposed to environmental and anthropogenic factors, are usually faint and severely damaged, being them difficult to identify and understand by visitors. Augmented Reality (AR) supplements reality with virtual information superimposed onto the real world. This sensor-based technology in smartphones/tablets can improve the paintings experience displaying the 2D digital tracings overlapped onto the real scene (rock with faint paintings). This paper presents an AR application (app) developed in Cova dels Cavalls that shows a recreation of a possible original composition full of motifs with descriptive information to improve current…
Terracotas en Terra Sigillata Hispánica. Reflexión a partir de un nuevo ejemplar en Augusta Emerita (Mérida, Badajoz)
2017
En este trabajo abordamos el estudio en clave iconográfca, funcional y cronológica de un ejemplar de terracota elaborado en Terra Sigillata Hispánica (TSH). Éste apareció en un contexto funerario en Augusta Emerita. Se trata de una fgura de bulto redondo mutilada y que presenta la peculiaridad de estar pintada, algo no muy frecuente en el repertorio de la TSH. Aprovechamos además la ocasión para plantear una nueva hipótesis interpretativa sobre este hallazgo como representación de una deidad oriental y analizamos otros ejemplares similares producidos en las otras fglinae peninsulares
Color degradation mapping of rock art paintings using microfading spectrometry
2021
[EN] Rock art documentation is a complex task that should be carried out in a complete, rigorous and exhaustive way, in order to take particular actions that allow stakeholders to preserve the archaeological sites under constant deterioration. The pigments used in prehistoric paintings present high light sensitivity and rigorous scientific color degradation mapping is not usually undertaken in overall archaeological sites. Microfading spectrometry is a suitable technique for determining the light-stability of pigments found in rock art paintings in a non-destructive way. Spectral data can be transformed into colorimetric information following the recommendations published by the Commission …
Levantamiento 3D para el estudio arqueológico y la reconstrucción virtual del Santuario de Isis en la antigua Lilybaeum (Italia)
2020
[EN] In recent years, the use of three-dimensional (3D) models in cultural and archaeological heritage for documentation and dissemination purposes has increased. New geomatics technologies have significantly reduced the time spent on fieldwork surveys and data processing. The archaeological remains can be documented and reconstructed in a digital 3D environment thanks to the new 3D survey technologies. Furthermore, the products generated by modern surveying technologies can be reconstructed in a virtual environment on effective archaeological bases and hypotheses coming from a detailed 3D data analysis. However, the choice of technologies that should be used to get the best results for dif…
La primera ocupación neolítica de la Cova d’En Pardo (Planes, Alicante). Avance de estudio pluridisciplinar de los niveles VIII y VIIIb
2014
Se presentan los resultados de las excavaciones llevadas a cabo en la Cova d’En Pardo (Planes, Alicante), concretamente los niveles VIII y VIIIb. El desarrollo de un proyecto multidisciplinar ha permitido caracterizar la ocupación de una pequeña cavidad por parte de las primeras comunidades campesinas asociadas al inicio del proceso de neolitización del levante de la Península Ibérica.
Prospección arqueológica de un campo de batalla. El vértice Gozalvo, Lucena del Cid, Castellón. Archaeological survey of the battlefield Gozalvo vert…
2015
El hallazgo de los restos de un combatiente de la Guerra Civil dio origen a una extensa prospección arqueológica con detector de metales, que permitió recuperar varios miles de objetos y documentar más de un centenar de estructuras. The discovery of the remains of a Spanish Civil War soldier, gave rise to an extensive archaeological survey with metal detector, which allowed to recover several thousand objects and document more than a hundred structures.
An execution in medieval Sicily: Computerised tomography scan analysis and 3D reconstruction of an ancient forensic context
2019
The bioarchaeological and forensic approach is increasingly applied in the study of funerary contexts in archaeology. Here, we present a case of an atypical medieval burial recently discovered in Piazza Armerina (Sicily), in which the integrated use of traditional bioarchaeological and forensic anthropology methods was crucial. The skeleton was lying in a prone position and was characterised by a peculiar injury pattern. We recorded six clear stab wound marks on the posterior surface of the sternum. The use of computerised tomography scan and 3D modelling techniques has made it possible to obtain a reliable reconstruction of the cause and modality of death, pointing to the execution of the …
A central italian coin with Dyonysus/Panther types, and contacts between Central Italy and Spain in the 2nd and 1rst centuries BC
2014
Tres monedas del tipo “Dionisio / pantera” se han encontrado en Cataluña. Una de ellas proviene de las excavaciones llevadas a cabo en Cabrera de Mar (Ilturo). Esta moneda es un componente clave del ensamblaje centro-itálico de las emisiones Italo-béticas que data de finales de la década de los 90 e inicios del decenio de los 80 a.C. La pieza, probablemente llego a la zona durante las Guerras Sertorianas (80–72) y con toda seguridad antes del 50 a.C. Por ello, revisamos en este trabajo las evidencias existentes para los contactos entre la Hispania Citerior e Italia central, entre la Hispania Citerior y la Ulterior, y finalmente entre la Hispania Ulterior y la Italia central. Con esta finali…
BIM Modelling of Ancient Buildings
2018
In the last years, new procedures on design and management of constructions, based on 3D standardised models of building elements, have been proposed. It’s the case of Building Information Modelling (BIM) applications, that, differently from CAD ones, allow to work with libraries of 3D parametrical objects (smart objects) describing geometric, structural and material properties of building elements. This methodology is based on the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) model, that represents a global standard for the building data exchange. Initially used for the design of new architectures, BIM methodology has been even more considered also for the management and the conservation of historical…
