Friends and colleagues: Digital laser imaging technology is not only very
cool, but it is also much faster and more accurate than hand drawing for
architectural features found at archaeological sites. This fact is made
obvious in Mesa Verde: A CyArk Case Study, the latest video feature on our
nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology Channel
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org).
The complex World Heritage site of Mesa Verde is a good challenge for CyArk,
a Kacyra Family Foundation project that is preserving the world's most
valued cultural heritage sites in three-dimensional digital form. Ancestral
Puebloans at Mesa Verde built cliff dwellings in AD 1200-1300. A field team
in 2005 visited one site there, Spruce Tree House, to test CyArk's advanced
documentation techniques. This video shows how CyArk is preserving the site
in digital imagery through laser scanning and the most accurate 3D models
possible today.
This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment. We
urge you to support this public service by participating in our Membership
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.shtml) programs. Only with your
help can we continue and enhance our nonprofit public-education and
visitor-supported programming. We also welcome new content partners as we
reach out to the world community.
Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
