Mapping I

Over sweeping pans of the area's remarkable architectural remains nestled in the stunning landscape, the extent of the surface mapping in Archaeos' 2001-2002 season is described with footage focusing on the field work of the surveying team. Archaeologists David Gimbel and John Fritz explain the surveying process and outline the way the data is collected, noting that this digital information can be translated into a variety of forms and end-uses.
George Michell observes that this is the first time such surveying has been used on an archaeological site in India; CAD-based surface mapping can not only help scholars discover more about a site but it can more easily aid in increasing awareness about the world's cultural sites by bringing architectural information to a wider public through digital media.
