The nuraghe's documented problem pertains to the detachment of some wall ashlars near the stairwell, which may create a risk of structural collapse and subsequent loss of the archaeological asset. The main goal of the study is to ensure visitor's safety, the conservation of the heritage site, and the enhancement of its value. The integrated survey serves as a first step towards a better understanding of the asset's safety requirements and architectural restoration. The accuracy of surveying by means of a 3D laser scanner was complemented with the use of drone digital photogrammetry, which enabled the surveying of areas that would otherwise have been inaccessible, whilst ensuring safety for the operators, the equipment, and the monument itself. A series of 2D graphic drawings were created using open-source software, producing high-quality 3D models and accurate orthophotos, which are measurable, and which can be easily interpreted by the client who commissioned the survey work. The results demonstrate the cost-effective advantages of using high-resolution techniques for archaeological conservation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38225,"journal":{"name":"Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article e00440"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144366842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research situates itself within the broader theoretical framework of “archive archaeology,” in the context of a digitization project at the Villa del Casale. Using existing AI technologies such as Transkribus and the Handwriting Analysis Tool, the project approaches archives not only as repositories of information but also as subjects of study. It explores the potential of these advanced digital technologies to transcribe and interpret unpublished handwritten legacy data - specifically, archival materials related to earlier excavations at the Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina - in order to contribute to the broader analysis and understanding of legacy data and handwritten field notes. Additionally, the project discusses the creation of a Villa del Casale's digital ecosystem to enhance the dissemination, accessibility, and reuse of both primary and secondary research data through the use of the open-source web publishing platform Omeka Classic, designed for the creation and management of digital collections and exhibits.

The approach is demonstrated through a case study of the José de Alencar Theater. Historic structures often present intricate architectural details and diverse material compositions that require precise documentation for effective maintenance and conservation. HBIMPath aims to integrate Building Information Modeling (BIM) with systematic historical research, on-site investigations, and non-destructive testing to create an accurate and comprehensive digital representation of heritage assets. The methodology combines historical data and advanced visualization techniques, including virtual tours, to facilitate detailed analysis of materials and structural elements. This approach minimizes the need for invasive procedures while ensuring the reliability of geometric and material data. The study emphasizes the importance of computational efficiency, balancing model accuracy and performance, particularly when dealing with highly ornate features. Results demonstrate the potential of HBIMPath in documenting and preserving complex historic buildings and its adaptability for less intricate structures, including modernist architecture. The study also highlights the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in capturing historical accuracy and architectural intent. Future research opportunities include improving the integration of detailed ornamentation into digital models without compromising computational performance and expanding the methodology's application to modern and contemporary constructions.

However, the emergence of 3D laser scanning technologies, photogrammetry, virtual reality, and augmented reality offers efficient alternatives. These advanced techniques facilitate accurate digital reconstruction and conjecture formation and give real feel which benefiting in diverse fields like virtual museums, 3D printing, gaming, and virtual tourism. This is particularly crucial in the digital reconstruction of heritage sites damaged by vandalism, natural disasters, or deterioration. Numerous case studies, including the Temple of Athena, Palmyra temple, and Kilburn Fortress and many others underscore the efficacy of digital reconstruction methodologies. Digital reconstruction is important for the heritage site where conservation of heritage sites has been done but it is important to understand that many heritage structures were conserved during the 18th &amp; 19th Centuries when conservation theories were in the development stages. Today, they should be digitally reconstructed to propose conjectures based on the evidence. Similar, the case of Gwalior <em>Mansingh</em> palace has been discussed here which were conserved before 19th C when the conservation theories were developed. Therefore, in this research work a strategy has been developed to adopt a comprehensive approach to digitally reconstructing <em>Mansingh</em> Palace by holistic approaches, leveraging archival paintings and on-site investigations. Through this research, we aim to contribute to the digital reconstruction of the <em>Mansingh</em> palace and try to bring in closest original form based on archival description, evidence and site inspections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38225,"journal":{"name":"Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article e00439"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144298587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research involves decomposing geometric shapes, identifying symmetry groups, and scrutinizing parameterized kinetic movements. Seventeen two-dimensional repetitive patterns—classified under what are commonly referred to as \"wallpaper groups\" in mathematical symmetry theory—are categorized, revealing a notable association between the P6M symmetry group —a classification featuring six-fold rotational and mirror symmetry—and heightened kinetic potential. This leads to the research question: 'Which symmetry groups possess the capacity for transformation into kinetic motion?'
