Experimenting with photogrammetry . .
Photogrammetry holds much promise for the documenting of archaeological work, as we have demonstrated over the last two years.
I have been experimenting recently with additional techniques.
As you may recall, one student recovered a small Byzantine storage jar that was intact.
But when I tried to make a 3D model of the jar, the result failed.
The software could not find points on the jar to construct the bottom.
I have also attempted to make models of larger sections of the site. My first attempt at the south half of the House of Tyche came out rather well, except for a hole in the west wall next to Cardo 3N.
More attempts to follow.

Two new models

With increased computing power, we are now able to present two larger models that document the final status of the excavation at the end of the 2016 season.
The first shows the North Building, likely a support building and perhaps living quarters for the community maintaining the Northeast Church:

The second shows the entire House of Tyche. It is a very large file and may require several attempts to load it over the internet.
