LIFE Project: evolution of survey techniques along the border of the Roman Empire

Corinna Rossi, Francesco Fassi, Cristiana Achille
Abstract:
This article presents the latest results as well as an overview of the continuous evolution of the survey methods applied to the extreme desert environment of the Kharga Oasis, in Egypt’s Western Desert. The detailed survey of the architectural and agricultural remains of the Late Roman site of Umm al-Dabadib represent the chance to experiment the application of 3D survey techniques to complex objects. The aim of this research is twofold: pushing the available techniques to their limits in order to obtain innovative results, and eventually obtaining a precise and measurable 3D model of a complex and challenging built-up area.
