Collaborative Research in Archaeology and Computer Graphics: Lessons Learned

Learn how a computer graphist and archaeologist collaborate, understand each other's language, and meet the goals of their specialties in a unique research project. Discover the challenges of working with historical data and creating 3D reconstructions. Explore how historians contribute to understanding human life across different eras and the importance of validating hypotheses. Join us in this exciting journey of interdisciplinary teamwork!

  1. Lessons learned Isabelle Ratinaud Joëlle Thollot

  2. How to begin a collaboration ? • A common research subject • How to understand • Another scientific language • The goals of each speciality

  3. The datas ideally • A computer graphist needs: • Terrain • Buildings, houses • Characters • An archaeologist could have: • First step: excavation • Topographical datas, numerical datas (x, y), objects • Second step: reconstruction • Drawings (elevation, section), plans and maps • An historian could have: • Human way of life, traditions, institutions …

  4. The datas in practice • Lack of information • State of the remains after more or less 2000 years • Topographical datas in Greece • Datas not immediately usable • More descriptions than drawings • Datas often unpublished and fragmented • A computer graphist needs a visual and complete description of the scene

  5. 3D reconstruction • Not only a research work for CG • Geometric modelisation: graphists • Demos, prototypes: engineers • Validation of the results • Advices from the archaeologists • How to deal with the missing parts ? • How to deal with the hypotheses ? => Constant dialogue

  6. Rendering, Virtual Reality • This is the job of the computer scientists • The easiest part of the project… • Choice of the rendering style according to the archaeologists’ point of view

  7. What do we do now ? • Pedagogical support: • Web site, CD ROM • Museum, archeological site • Research in archaeology: • Validation of the hypotheses • Better understanding of the space • Need more work

  8. Happy few • We have shared our knowledge • Now Joelle knows what a doric column is and Isabelle what a billboard is ! • For CG, a new scientific community : • Different points of view • New applications • For archaeologists, another way to question their sources All of we want to continue this project !
