Beskrivelse
Recent advances in archaeological field documentation show a considerable increase in the use of 3D. This calls for a revision of not only the general workflow of excavations, but re-evaluating the inherent dichotomy of interpretation and observation in archaeology. For years archaeologists have been addressing the concept of authenticity as a matter of documentation quality - how open to interpretation are our observations? This paper presents research into the augmentation of the scientific quality of data through evaluating authenticity - both as a concept and as a tool in the archaeological documentation workflow. 3D documentation advocates for a new workflow with a more 3-dimensional reasoning, allowing for the utilisation of 3D as a tool for continuous progressplanningand evaluation of an excavation and its results. Just like the general use of models to form hypotheses, it is possible to use 3D models as spatial hypotheses of an ongoing excavation. This allows us to visually realise or spatially conceptualise our hypothesis as a virtual reconstruction and to combine it with our observational data. In combining ‘reality data’ with ‘model data’, evaluating the level of authenticity becomes paramount to the quality of excavation documentation, but also integrates as a level of measure, that allows for evaluating the excavation process. The aim of this paper is to present an approach to integrating this new level of documentation detail into excavations through conceptualising levels of generalisation and authenticity, and in addition demonstrate
practical approaches to managing 3D observation data alongside reconstructions and visualisations.
