Document Summary
The future of archaeology: planning for sustainability and innovation. Technology messes with the archaeological research process, inserting itself into every step. Useful for recording sites: use drones for aerial shots, tablets, etc. Tip: follow trends now with a mind to predicting the future. 3d modelling; social media, app and web technology to make archaeology public; augmented and virtual reality and immersive experiences of the past. Photogrammetry is a popular part of 3d modelling right now. More recently, using reference points and measurements in photographs to get accurate measurements. Must get photos from literally every angle to get the most accurate digital image to produce a 3d object. Tip 2: make use of free software and training opportunities. Sketch up, free apps, things to teach yourself without dropping a whole bunch of money. The programs aren"t perfect but are good for learning.
