“…The most popular of which is UCL Depthmap, a spatial network analysis software created by Alasdair at the UCL University. Depthmap was initially intended for visibility graph analysis [17], but over the years, it has been supplemented with additional routines for axial lines in convex spaces and agent-based analysis [18]. Necessarily, some indicators should be defined to know how to interpret the results of the depthmap analysis, including connectivity, integration (HH, n, R3) and depth.…”

aiming to study the sociability potential of urban spaces in global scale in the Kermanshah city in Iran and Golha street in local scale as one of the densest urban areas from socio-economic and urban fabric perspective. To achieve this purpose a mixed research methodology in three steps is implemented, including library research, then integration analysis of the spatial configuration of Kermanshah city and Golha Street through space syntax method (depthmap) in both global and local analysis and a field study based on a questionnaire technique in which the gathered data are analyzed with SPSS software. The comparative analogy of the results of depthmap and questionnaire shows there is a meaningful relationship between the higher integrated urban spaces in Kermanshah city, specially Golha Street and sociability potential the urban spaces based on the indicators of the questionnaire.

“…While the GIS offers quantitative measures of potential social connectivity, the technology, based on 2.5D data, does not allow for architectural details such as sculptured facades and arched doorways to be incorporated in the analysis. Thus, aesthetic details such as color and lighting are missing as well as features impacting visibility, particularly in the communication of messages (Paliou 2014;Paliou 2017; Richards-Rissetto 2017a; Sullivan 2017). Additionally, GIS falls short for phenomenological and other perception-based approaches because it gives a bird's-eye perspective and lacks a sense of mass and scale (Gillings and Goodrick, 1996;Kwan 2002;Llobera 2012;Rapoport 1988;Richards-Rissetto 2017b;Tilley 1997).…”

Digitally-mediated practices of archaeological data require reflexive thinking about where archaeology stands as a discipline in regard to the 'digital,' and where we want to go. To move toward this goal, we advocate a historical approach that emphasizes contextual source-side criticism and data intimacy-scrutinizing maps and 3D data as we do artifacts by analyzing position, form, material and context of analog and digital sources. Applying this approach, we reflect on what we have learned from processes of digitally-mediated data. We ask: What can we learn as we convert analog data to digital data? And, how does digital data transformation impact the chain of archaeological practice? Primary, or raw data, are produced using various technologies ranging from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)/Global Positioning System (GPS), LiDAR, digital photography, and ground penetrating radar, to digitization, typically using a flat-bed scanner to transform analog data such as old field notes, photographs, or drawings into digital data. However, archaeologists not only collect primary data, we also make substantial time investments to create derived data such as maps, 3D models, or statistics via post-processing and analysis. While analog data is typically static, digital data is more dynamic, creating fundamental differences in digitally-mediated archaeological practice. To address some issues embedded in this process, we describe the lessons we have learned from translating analog to digital geospatial data-discussing what is lost and what is gained in translation, and then applying what we have learned to provide concrete insights to archaeological practice.

The aim of this chapter is to make a strong case for the adoption of a radically different approach to the archaeology of the senses. This is an approach that focuses not on what is sensed per se (or any ingenious mapping or digital representation of such) but instead the emergent affects that may have arisen in any given sensory encounter, and the impact(s) of such on the assemblage of individuals, things, animals, environments, landscape elements, memories, expectations and anticipations (to name but a few) that were bound up within it. This is not to say that we should abandon attempts to, for example, delineate, visualise, map and analyse what could be seen, heard or smelled. Instead, it is to stress that such efforts should always be treated as a means-to-an-end and never taken as definitive end-products. In the discussion that follows, we build the theoretical framework needed to effect such a re-orientation, drawing upon affect theory and notions of relational capacity and affordance. We then go on to demonstrate the value of this through a case study involving the mapping and exploration of visibility and foreground the unique (yet largely untapped) interpretative potential of virtual, mixed and augmented reality approaches to move beyond mere representation, to instead evoke affects directly.
