Abstract

This paper presents the integration of advanced 3D digitization and visualization technologies in the study and preservation of prehistoric megalithic heritage sites in the Mediterranean. We focus on the digital documentation and analysis of the Borġ in-Nadur megalithic complex and other notable sites, employing a combination of terrestrial laser scanning, aerial and terrestrial digital photogrammetry. The research highlights how digital tools not only enhance the precision of archaeological documentation but also promote virtual accessibility and offer new insights into the archeoastronomical significance of these structures. We discuss the production of high-resolution digital replicas, their utility in virtual reconstructions, and the role of digital platforms in public engagement and scholarly study. The findings underscore the potential of digital technologies to revolutionize heritage conservation and research, providing a comprehensive digital approach to the safeguarding and understanding of our ancient heritage.

数字保存和考古天文学见解:马耳他群岛巨石遗产的三维数字化
本文介绍了先进的三维数字化和可视化技术在地中海史前巨石遗址研究和保护中的应用。我们将重点放在对 Borġ in-Nadur 巨石建筑群和其他著名遗址的数字化记录和分析上,并结合使用了地面激光扫描、航空和地面数字摄影测量技术。这项研究强调了数字工具不仅如何提高考古文献的精确度,而且如何促进虚拟可访问性,以及如何为这些建筑的考古天文学意义提供新的见解。我们讨论了高分辨率数字复制品的制作、其在虚拟重建中的实用性以及数字平台在公众参与和学术研究中的作用。这些研究成果强调了数字技术彻底改变遗产保护和研究的潜力,为保护和了解我们的古代遗产提供了一种全面的数字方法。
