Another publication: Celebrations in prehistoric Malta.

Hi all, This week has been a good week: here is another paper I have just published for World Archaeology, entitled Celebrations in prehistoric Malta. It’s a collaboration with many authors, but there is some good information on 3D stuff. 50 copies are available at https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/KTC67bb9MHxIeA2jYV5D/full so go get them quick!

Recreating Neolithic Malta’s domestic environment. Article published!

Hi everyone! I have just got an email confirming that my new article has been published in the Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage journal. The title is “Recreating Neolithic Malta’s domestic environment: 3D Reconstruction of the Għajnsielem Road house”. It should be available to all for the next 50 days, so read it […]

Just Like the Movies: Thoughts on 3D Reconstruction Animation

Over the last few months in the National Museum of Archaeology, Valletta, Malta, there has been an exhibition of the FRAGSUS project (https://www.qub.ac.uk/sites/FRAGSUS/). This has been an exceptional project I have been working on over the years, and as part of the exhibition I got to display some of the 3D reconstructions I have made […]

How Video Games help present and interpret Neolithic Malta.

Hi all, I gave a talk yesterday as part of Queen’s University Belfast PGR Talks. I had it recorded as I thought it would be interesting to share here some of my recent results. I intended this presentation for those who may not be familiar with the topic, so it may be a bit […]

Interpreting and Presenting Archaeological Sites Using 3D Reconstruction: Virtual Exploration of the Xaghra Brochtorff Circle in Gozo.

Hi all, Just as a heads up, I have uploaded my MPhil dissertation to Academia.edu, so go and check it out. It’s available here. It discusses 3D reconstruction in the Maltese islands, as well as using gaming software to analyse archaeological sites. Feel free to comment here with any questions you may have. I’m hoping […]

Paper on Using Unity3D for Archaeological Interpretation

Just a quick note to say that I have published an article for Archaeological Science: Reports regarding the use of a Unity3D script to calculate solar alignment at Ggantija, Gozo. It is unfortunately not as open access as I would like, but I’ve been told that the article will be available for viewing for the […]

A Unity 3D script for displaying uncertainty in 3D Reconstructions.

Following up from my latest post, I wanted to share with you one of the solutions I used as part of my MPhil project. As discussed, a real problem with 3D Reconstruction in archaeology is the subjectivity of the modelling process. While Photogrammetry and Laser Scanning record archaeological features as they are, reconstructions rely on […]
