My Archaeological Experiences
LIDAR for archaeology – video
Last year I did a talk on using LIDAR for archaeology (among other things). It inspired the following two posts: From LIDAR point cloud to archaeological DSM Intro to LIDAR for archaeology I completely forgot to upload the talk as I needed to cut out some company internal bits and edit to not show my […]
From LIDAR point cloud to archaeological DSM
In my previous article I gave an introduction to LIDAR for archaeology. This article aims to take you one step further. It shows an example of processing real world LIDAR point clouds for archaeology, in order to create a digital surface model (DSM). In today’s example we will be looking at LIDAR data for Tikal, […]
Computational archaeology in Malta
I spent my last vacation in Malta with my mom and husband. During our trip we explored various areas of the island, and were treated to archaeological sites ranging all the way back to 3500BC. This post summarises some of the computational archaeology that I read about along the way. Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum: This is […]
Computational archaeology in Petra
Recently I did a 2 week trip with a friend to Israel, Jordan and Egypt. During this trip we saw a lot of amazing archaeological sites, which will eventually feature on this blog. Today I want to focus on Petra, Jordan. Petra is a UNESCO Heritage site in southern Jordan, which has made the list […]

The course is organised by the Sapienza University of Rome and starts tomorrow (22nd January 2018). Read up more about […]
Computational Archaeology in Italy
I just came back from a nice 2 week holiday in Italy, where I was spoiled with archaeology, art and sun (the latter not often seen in Berlin). We visited Napoli, Pompeii, Amalfi, Roma, Siena, Florence, Chianti and Pisa. Somewhere in between waiting for late/imaginary buses and drinking wine, we managed to see some incredible […]
3D modeling updates
The 3D models in archaeology posts seem to be pretty popular, so I decided to add some more content for you 🙂 Here are some links: 3-D Virtual Model Reconstructs Germany’s Heidelberg Castle: A 3D model of Heidelberg Castle has been made using photographs, drawings, and surveys of the ruins Around the World in 80 […]
Computational Archaelogy news- January 2017
Once again it has been a while since my last news post, so I’ll be squishing a variety of resources here. Researchers Decipher Antikythera Mechanism Text – researchers decyphered label on ancient Antikyhthera device using X-ray scanning equipment and imaging technology. Archaeologist points to hidden monument in Jordan’s Petra – Satellite and drone images led to the discovery of a […]
Digital Humanities communities in Berlin
Happy new year readers! I am glad to say that we have arrived in Berlin and are settling in. So far we have been exploring the areas around us and awing at the amazing architecture. The city has been fairly quiet (except for an incredibly large amount of fireworks on New Years), so we have […]
