Digital Graphics

Earthsound offer a range of digital graphics services to facilitate and aid archaeological investigations. These can be tailor made to meet your individual requirements. Our digitizing and draughting suite enable old maps, paper plans, sections and illustrations to be transferred into digital format.

Once transferred into digital format this information can be geo-referenced and combined with Global Positioning System (GPS) and topographical surveys, geophysical results and other site analyses, allowing comprehensive digital data to be preserved, stored and used for future studies.

Archaeological trench and section digitizing

Our digitizing suite enables the transference of a range of archaeological material into digital format. We can cater for excavations and test trench plans and sections, field photos, elevation diagrams, illustrations, sketches and conjectural plans. These can be placed into Computer Aided Design (CAD), ideal for contractual, technical and published reports. Allowing a comprehensive digital archive to be built up of excavation and investigation information.

The digital information created can also be placed in national grid co-ordinates (if they are provided) that allows the information to be integrated with other geo-spatial surveys such as topographical, geophysical and landscape surveys.

Map digitizing

Maps of all ages can be significant to archaeological research and are often not held in digital format. The digitizing of these documents can enable landscape studies and regression analysis to be undertaken within study areas. With the advances in computer technology it is possible to digitally overlay different aged maps, map field boundary changes or plot finds / monument distributions.

Many digitized maps can also be geo-referenced allowing easy overlaying, storage and reuse. These geo-referenced files can then be integrated with other landscape studies such as topographical or geophysical data, geological and ecological surveys and proposed development plans.

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is the science of extracting measurements from photographs. Using digital, scanned or archive photographs we can create accurate 3D, textured models of artefacts, archaeological features or structures. The models can be exported for use in CAD, animations, rendering or web display.
