Abstract
AbstractThree-dimensional imagery is rapidly transforming the reconstruction, visualization and conceptualization of ancient monuments. We report (and reflect on value of) digital reconstruction a third-millennium bc megalithic tower surrounding landscape using combination architectural drawing, 3D photogrammetry geographic information systems (GIS) mapping. Our results indicate that at least 181 metric tons limestone (mean boulder weight 386kg) were hewn to create monument 20m in diameter...
