As you'd expect I think animations like this are a useful addition to an archaeologist's toolbox, but shouldn't be an end in themselves. I think that way is dangerous and leads to falling standards and a loss of information.<br /><br />Arguably there is no actual archaeological 'record' here, simply a lot of photos cleverly stitched together but without the context of a wider record. Its a very useful tool, and can help explain what we are doing, and engage people with our work, but it isn't actually an archaeological record unless there is the careful analytical recording of the subject -we can't tell from this animation how many times the walls were rebuilt, that the doorway was knocked through an existing cellar wall and the sides refaced, then the small room added, then at some later point the doorway was blocked up -from the inside. None of that is actually recorded here. Its just an image.<br /><br />In my opinion it is the detailed and meticulous recording (the 'preservation by record') that actually records the structure and would allow it to be reconstructed; this is a mere surface, the proper record is the substance. It is more 'fun' than a lot of recording, and probably gets a better response from the public and archaeologists, but its not a true record. For that you need time, thought and consideration, as well as a digital camera....<br />ChizFroe Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13924396057132845558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260681435139955632.post-24770747250235799832013-10-23T22:07:47.928+01:002013-10-23T22:07:47.928+01:00Impressive, Chiz.

This does the job better and quicker. To be honest, no one cares if a wall survived to 1.32 or 1.45 metres in height or what sort of coursing was used. They want to know what it looked like. benmoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012734206194666414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260681435139955632.post-20965145149849160152013-10-14T17:57:54.068+01:002013-10-14T17:57:54.068+01:00Glad you enjoyed it!
