    • 3D Visual Reconstruction for Rapid Archaeological Characterization

    Metadata Updated: October 19, 2024

    The use of optical mapping has the potential to create accurate and vastly higher-resolution models of submerged archaeological sites with a fraction of the time and costs of traditional underwater survey means. This project involved the completion of a high-resolution survey of an internationally important submerged site (Port Royal, Jamaica) and scientists in the process produced a robust system of underwater survey for use by the archaeological profession to produce detailed, photorealistic plans and models of submerged sites quickly, economically, and to a level of accuracy comparable to that achieved on terrestrial sites. Funding for this project was provided by NOAA Ocean Exploration via its Ocean Exploration Fiscal Year 2014 Funding Opportunity.

    Licence Access Contraints: If data contain the location of a cultural resource determined to be historically significant is revealed, Section 304 of the National Historic Preservation Act provides that the head of a Federal agency or other public official can withhold from public disclosure, information about the location, character, or ownership of a historic property when disclosure may cause a significant invasion of privacy; risk harm to the historic property; or impede the use of a traditional religious site by practitioners. Data collected by the EX or through the NOAA Ocean Exploration's competitive grants program and derivative data products that contain location information on historically significant properties will be archived in a location where it can be withheld from public disclosure.
