Descripción del proyecto
Desenterrar documentación arqueológica
La documentación arqueológica se enfrenta al reto de unas normas incoherentes, unos recursos limitados y unos tiempos de recogida de datos prolongados. Dichos problemas dificultan la investigación y la realización de análisis y comparaciones precisas entre proyectos. Además, las recientes aplicaciones de inteligencia artificial subrayan la necesidad de normalizar la recogida de datos para mejorar los resultados. Con el apoyo de las acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, el equipo del proyecto StAr-Doc pretende revolucionar la documentación arqueológica. Mediante la aplicación sistemática de tecnologías avanzadas, el equipo de StAr-Doc pretende proporcionar a los expertos un método funcional para documentar científicamente artefactos procedentes de contextos arqueológicos, con la promesa de agilizar el proceso y mejorar los resultados de la investigación. El equipo del proyecto se centra en materiales específicos como el ánfora romana tardía 1, la loza roja de Asuán y la loza roja africana. Al normalizar la recogida de datos y emplear la inteligencia artificial, el equipo de StAr-Doc mejora la precisión y la accesibilidad.
Objetivo
To this date, documentation of materials from archaeological sites varies greatly from project to project. There are several reasons for this: 1) lack of experts and/or funds, 2) difficulties in accessing data, 3) and the long time necessary to collect and document information. In addition, the recent application of Artificial Intelligence to archaeological documentation has highlighted the need for further standardisation in data collection and, consequently, in the results obtained. The StAr-Doc project, therefore, intends to address and solve these problems by applying technologies available on the market today in a systematic and standardised manner.
In particular, the project aims to build a pipeline that provides experts in the study of archaeological materials with a functional method to scientifically document artefacts from archaeological contexts. The specific goals of the project are to construct 3D models using photographs obtained with low and medium-budget devices. These models will enable the extrapolation of the physical characteristics of each object, including sections, dimensions, and, in the case of pots, diameter and correct orientation.
The second specific objective will be the documentation of the pottery fabrics. In particular, the focus will be on pottery fabrics, which will be recorded with 2D images at varying degrees of magnification. Specifically, several classes of materials will be selected, such as Late Roman Amphora 1, Aswan Red Slip Ware, and African Red Slip Ware; their fabrics will be documented and processed with mathematical quantification programmes, a technique that enables to identify groups with similar physical and technical characteristics. The characteristics of these groups will then be compared with those of materials from production sites. The last specific objective will be to publish the collected material (2D images), the virtual models, and the fabric database on an open access virtual repository.
