Through an innovative methodological framework combining historical analysis with quantitative acoustic experimentation, this research challenges traditional interpretations of Persian architectural ornamentation as purely decorative elements. The study employs advanced acoustic measurement techniques adapted to work within cultural heritage preservation constraints, analyzing how geometric configurations of Tong Bori elements influence acoustic parameters in enclosed spaces. Experimental results demonstrate that spaces incorporating these vessel-shaped niches exhibit significant acoustic improvements, including enhanced amplitude modulation, controlled reverberation, and superior sound diffusion compared to conventional surfaces. The research methodology involved constructing scale models with various ceiling configurations inspired by the Music Hall's Cut-Out Muqarnas and carved plasterwork. This enabled quantitative analysis of acoustic performance while respecting preservation protocols that prohibited direct site testing. Findings reveal intricate acoustic engineering in Safavid-era architecture, suggesting intentional acoustic design through the strategic implementation of geometric patterns and material layering. This research addresses a critical gap in archaeoacoustical studies of Iranian architecture while establishing methodological precedents for investigating historical acoustic spaces under preservation constraints. The study's significance extends beyond archaeological documentation, offering valuable insights into heritage conservation and contemporary acoustic design while demonstrating the technological sophistication of historical Persian builders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38225,"journal":{"name":"Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article e00433"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144068191","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}

Applying the same high-accuracy digital solutions to five archaeological and 26 experimentally commissioned replica sinkers, permitted linking characteristic features of engraved surfaces with specific tools and techniques. This enabled identifying and distinguishing flint-made surface modifications from quartz, bone and sandstone, and revealed novel information on key aspects of the sinker’s biographies and <em>chaîne opératoire,</em> including the initial shaping of the blank by means of grinding stones, the relative chronology of the engraving process, and damage to the artefact surface caused during use-life and via post-deposition processes. This study suggests that the central furrow on the soapstone sinkers, assumed to function for fastening a line, was produced in a consistent way, likely with quartz tools, while other incisions showed more variation.

This site represents a seamless blend of Islamic heritage and modern Western influences, not only preserving the remnants of ancient civilizations like the Phoenician, Carthaginian, and Roman but also vividly portraying diverse lifestyles and numerous legends within its walls. This remarkable monument withstands the relentless forces of nature, enduring both physical wear and chemical degradation, which results in the deterioration of its structural integrity and poses a threat to its safety. Therefore, regularly assessing this edifice is crucial to guarantee the preservation and upkeep of this historical monument, preventing its deterioration. Employing visual inspections conducted manually to detect and classify the different distress in historical monuments demonstrates itself as a labor-intensive and time-consuming endeavor. In response to these limitations, the current research presents a novel damage detection method for the automated identification of deterioration in Chellah, with the objective of accelerating the inquiry process and optimizing the effectiveness of distress identification. This study introduces a pioneering approach for automated damage detection in historical monuments, specifically targeting the Chellah site in Morocco. Leveraging the YOLOv5 deep learning model, this research achieves exceptional precision (97 %) and F1 score (92 %), outperforming state-of-the-art models like YOLOv7 and YOLOv8. Unlike traditional methods reliant on costly equipment or labor-intensive manual inspections, this method addresses challenges such as the detection of small or overlapping damages and the efficient use of a relatively small dataset. The novelty of this work lies in tailoring advanced object detection technologies to the complex, irregular surfaces of the Chellah monument, demonstrating superior real-time performance and low computational cost. This contribution provides a robust, scalable solution for preserving cultural heritage and sets a benchmark for future applications in heritage conservation and real-time monitoring.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38225,"journal":{"name":"Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article e00422"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852337","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}
