“…Since the 2010s, drone-based SfM has proven very effective in documenting entire excavations and enabling low-cost investigation of the archaeological built environment and landscape (Fernández-Hernandez et al 2015; Fernández-Lozano and Gutiérrez-Alonso 2016; O'Driscoll 2018; Verhoeven 2011; Waagen 2019; Wernke et al 2014). In the Maya area, due to the dense forest canopy covering most archaeological sites, the applicability of drone-based documentation techniques is more efficient in deforested zones (Murtha et al 2019) or where the vegetation has been partially cleared (Lercari et al 2018).…”

The Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque, Mexico, is an outstanding example of Classic Maya architecture erected in the seventh century as the funerary building for ruler K'inich Janab Pakal. For decades, scholars have speculated on its construction sequence and the potential existence of hidden rooms on either side of Pakal's mortuary chamber. This article aims to advance understanding of the Temple's architectural context in light of new 3D data. After reviewing the application of drone-based photogrammetry and terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging in the Maya area, we argue that these techniques are capable of enhancing the architectural analysis of the Temple of the Inscriptions and showing that this structure was part of a larger architectural project, encompassing the adjacent Temple XIII, and the connecting stepped building platform. Our findings demonstrate that the basal platforms for the Temple of the Inscriptions and Temple XIII were erected contemporaneously and that the design of their mortuary chambers follows a tripartite layout we identified in Palenque's elite funerary architecture and associated mortuary practices. We conclude that these three buildings were part of a mausoleum architectural project, the construction of which was initiated by Pakal to reshape Palenque's site-core and enshrine the ruling family's power and ancestors.

“…We analyze the mausoleum architectural project integrating new geospatial and 3D data collected at Palenque in 2018 with its archaeological record and legacy drawings (Figure 2; Lercari et al 2018). This approach allowed us to observe new spatial correlations in the building's architectural levels and their substructures.…”

“…With the use of this method, we are able to collect information that is more precise and in-depth than what we could get from either sensor alone (Bok et al 2011). Historical and archaeological sites are non-renewable resources susceptible to human and environmental influence, exist in relatively confined areas and should be protected by local, national, and worldwide communities (Lercari et al, 2018). One of the biggest causes of damage to cultural assets is looting, political instability and climate change.…”

Abstract. The three-dimensional (3D) preservation and repair of historic sites are increasingly in practice using modelling and digital documentation. This study focuses on replacing conventional techniques of historical documentation by creating a digital documentation procedure employing laser scanning for 3D mapping of a monument located in Prayagraj, India. To quickly record the entire monument structure, four scanning stations were planned, where three for the facades and one for the interior. A 3D structure of the monument and its elements dimension that included structural, architectural, historical, and non-engineering information was the end product. Researchers, architects, and conservationists can use this laser scanning-based technique to analyze data in great detail to identify weaknesses and conservation requirements. In order to preserve the monument's cultural relevance, it can also be used for virtual tours. Digital documentation can also provide an accurate monument record for restoration needs, protecting the monument from human- or natural-caused damage. Overall, 3D Modelling and digital documentation are valuable tools in heritage conservation, providing comprehensive records of heritage sites and aiding in practical conservation and restoration plans while making cultural heritage accessible to a broader societies.

“…Cada vez más proyectos de investigación introducen el uso de las técnicas digitales de documentación, por ejemplo, en Palenque, Chiapas, desde el 2018 se ha introducido el uso de sistemas de escaneado laser terrestre, así como técnicas de fotogrametría aérea con drones (Lercari, Campiani, y Stuardo 2018). En el ámbito de este proyecto, destacamos la reciente investigación del Templo de las Inscripciones que, a partir de un levantamiento realizado integrando datos tomado con escáner láser y con fotogrametría digital, ha llevado a la formulación de nuevas hipótesis sobre este edificio funerario y sobre su relación con el adyacente templo XIII (Campiani, Stuardo, y Lercari 2021), demostrando, una vez más, la importancia de la introducción de las técnicas de documentación digital en el área maya así como de un enfoque arquitectónico en la investigación de los edificios mayas.…”
