FIELD LOG / NOTES FROM THE PROCESS
The work behind
the record.
Field encounters, capture experiments,
and the decisions that shape the archive.
Announcement ·
An open archive, without a paywall
I have dropped plans for paid downloads and paid early access. The archive stays free; commissioned work and consultation remain separate professional services.
Process
How capture speed affected reconstruction
Resampling one video dataset improved reconstruction in a project comparison. The result informs frame selection without establishing a universal capture recipe.
Case Study
Lighting and reconstruction gaps at NMEC
A closing capture session at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, and why some of that batch reconstructed with gaps photogrammetry usually shouldn't leave.
Process
Why Wikimedia Commons only takes STL, for now
Commons currently accepts 3D uploads only as binary STL: geometry only, no color or texture. What that means for a capture meant to end up there.
Announcement
Starting the Field Log
Why ArchaeoArchive has a blog now, and what it will and won't cover.
Process
What "freedom of panorama" means for scanning public monuments in Egypt
Egyptian law doesn't give Commons a clean freedom-of-panorama exemption. What that restricts, and what it doesn't.
