“…Examples include an application based on LiDAR data of a 3D reconstruction of the Mengjingtang Tomb in Luoyang city (Zhou and Mao 2013), the 3D modelling of an unearthed pottery house from Hepu Han tomb based on LiDAR (Wang et al, 2015), the 3D modelling of the terracotta soldiers and horses of the Qin Dynasty in Shanxi Province (Yang 2006). Additionally, Rao, Mirko et al presented a preliminary virtual reality reconstruction of the Etruscan painted tombs in Tarquinia, which could be combined with additional visualized information by the environment (Rao, Gadia, and Valtolina 2012). Stular, B. suggested evaluating the extent and nature of new archaeological information extracted from LiDAR-derived (from the Kobarid region, Slovenia) high-resolution relief models.…”

Mound tombs, popular in the south Yangzi River area in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, are regional cultural remains in China. With the aims of protecting and scientifically analysing cultural relics, laser scanning technology was adopted to study Zhaihuatou mound tombs located in Nonglin Village in Tianwang town, Jiangsu Province. Multiple tombs are held within one mound in good keep and with the typical construction of centripetalism. Accurate tomb LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) data were acquired by applying terrestrial laser scanning technology to the field mound excavation. Subsequently, a spatial morphological analysis of the tombs was conducted on the basis of archaeological rules and GIS spatial data processing methods. Using the theory of centripetalism construction of multi-tomb-one-mounds, we proposed an algorithm to determine the concentrated area of the geometric directions of tombs, and centripetalism theory was scientifically validated in comparing results with the excavation data. Spatial data clustering methods were used to analyse and deduce the spatial distribution characteristics of the tombs. We propose and demonstrate that the burial system is in the form of family-clan aggregation, and is useful for developing research on regional burials. Experimental data show that the proposed method is a novel example of how spatial analysis can foster more precise field archaeological excavations on a large scale, and it is significant to study various types of tombs, relics and ruins.

“…Instead, they ask for formative and interactive experiences that they can personalize on the basis of their preferences. We adopted this innovative strategy in the field of the VR applied at the Archaeology in the design of the virtual reality simulation of the Etruscan Necropolis of Tarquinia (UNESCO site since 2004) that has been realized not only for dissemination purpose but also for supporting archaeological analysis [33]. The site is an outstanding testimonial of the Etruscan culture, in which so far more than 6200 tombs carved in the rock were discovered.…”

Part 3: Specific ContextsInternational audienceThis chapter presents an overview of the results of an interdisciplinary collaboration between several domain experts in the frame of archaeological projects. Since 2001, different independent interactive systems have been co-designed, developed, and tested on the field, in the frame of the “Tarquinia Project” carried out since 1982 in the ancient Tarchna, one of the foremost Etruscan cities, by the Università degli Studi di Milano. The adoption of a semiotic approach to a participatory action design research process with the involvement of domain experts led us to a better understanding of the main characteristics but also the challenges of the archaeological practice and helped us to apply technology in a better and efficient way. The currently undergoing work is focused on the co-design of a cloud of services aimed at integrating all the tools into a bigger framework to support the archaeological practice in a more pervasive way
