Gabii Project at the Redford Conference in Archaeology: Taking Archaeology Digital (University of Puget Sound, 25-28 October 2012).

Rachel Opitz (CAST-U of Arkansas) is going to present a paper titled "Going Big. Data management strategies for the large scale excavations at Gabii (Italy)" at the upcoming Redford Conference in Archaeology: Taking Archaeology Digital (University of Puget Sound, 25-28 October 2012).
Opitz's talk, which is scheduled to appear in a panel on "Paperless Recording and Data Management" (October 27), will discuss problems of data management strategy in active research excavations and the use of web platforms for collaboration and dissemination. The presentation will focus on the methodology developed by the Gabii Project, particularly on the way close-range photogrammetric modelling is used and integrated with topographic survey to produce top plans, phase plans and other traditional (and required) documents, and on the lessons learned in four years of work at the site.
