CAUCASUS DOLMENS PHOTOGRAMMETRY EFFICIENT EXPERIENCE IN RESOURCE-LIMITED SETTINGS

Abstract

The article presents a field experience in photogrammetric imagery and the Caucasus dolmen culture objects processing. This work objective is developing creative high quality three dimensional simple method in resource-limited settings. This approach analyzes insufficiently explored and hard-to-reach dolmen groups with interesting technical and cult elements. The objects are located in the Tuapse region: on the Mezetsu and Bzeuls ridges and on the upper of the Psynako river. As a result, we received eight high-precision models. There are seven standalone objects models and the three dolmens in these. Also, this article the collecting features and field data processing indicates. We believe our experience might be useful not in archaeology only but in other disciplines with similar objects fixing difficulties.
