PROSPECTS FOR THE USE OF 3D TECHNOLOGY FOR THE STUDY OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE SITES OF THE TVER VOLGA REGION

Abstract

The study features the identification of promising areas for the application of 3D technology in the study of cultural heritage sites in the Tver Volga region, as three-dimensional fixation has a number of advantages over two-dimensional drawings and photographic materials. Photogrammetry is used in the paper as an example of the most accessible way to construct 3D models, which requires a camera and a computer. Photogrammetry is a more affordable alternative as compared to scanning. The experience of digital modeling is presented on the basis of the materials of archaeological excavations in Staritsa, Tver Oblast, using the Zephyr Pro software. The use of 3D technology at archaeological sites allows to expand their analysis capabilities, transfer sites into digital format, and retain complete information about them without changing the structure of the sites.
