Archaeologists are familiar with 3D reconstructions for virtual reality as an enhancement to the museum-goer/tourist experience or for illustrative purposes. Architectural reconstructions themselves are academic. […]

There are three more days to submit session proposals for THATCamp CAA-NA. We have a good number so far, but not quite enough to keep the all of the participants, with their diverse array of backgrounds and […]

Hi Mandy,

The IGCH records findspots to the nearest modern town. The coordinates on the map aren’t the precise findspot, but coordinates of the town provided by wikipedia or geonames, which is usually the […]

This is an issue that we are tackling with coin hoards (3 or more coins found together in the same context) and also what the Portable Antiquities Scheme deals with daily. Archaeologists record precise […]

I am interested to learn more about how other participants are recording and sharing their data (if you are). Are you using an in-house schema or an off-the-shelf commercial or open-source database? I would like […]

Ethan Gruber commented on the post, The Web and Public Archaeology, on the site THATCamp CAANA 2012 – Computer Applications in Archaeology North America right now

The Portable Antiquties Scheme is one of the best examples of public archaeology out there. I suppose it is still controversial in some quarters, but the results cannot be denied–data for 800,000 objects that […]

Ethan Gruber commented on the post, Augmented Reality , on the site THATCamp CAANA 2012 – Computer Applications in Archaeology North America right now

I’m definitely interested in an augmented reality session, and I’m sure other THATCamp participants will be as well. I’m not currently using it, but this could be one possible approach to integrating 3D models […]

Hi Regina,

Registration was closed in order accept current registrations and create wordpress accounts for participants in order to allow them to propose sessions. It also gives ample time to participants to […]

This should be theoretically possible, so the question is: has anyone actually done this yet regarding railroad symbols in particular?

No mention of rail, but this might be a useful read: […]

Ethan Gruber commented on the post, DH and the Tech Industry, on the site THATCamp Virginia 2012 right now

There’s a fair amount of collaboration between academics and private business within archaeology, especially with respect to documentation (survey, laser scanning, photogrammetry, geoscience etc.). Private […]

Ethan Gruber commented on the post, Possibilities for Local History, on the site THATCamp Virginia 2012 right now

Another potential aspect of this project is to create an interface between the scholarly community and the archivists of the Virginia Heritage Project. The VHP is a great, if underutilized, resource, which could […]
