Virtual Archaeology: How, What, Why, Links
Website: http://emuseum.mnsu.edu/archaeology/virtual/

This site created by Minnesota State University contains basic descriptions of the methods and uses of virtual reality computing techniques in archaeology. The Links page contains links to some of virtual archaeology applications on the WWW. Not all of the links are specific to 3D site reconstruction.

VAST 01' Conference Proceedings
Website:
http://portal.acm.org/toc.cfm?id=584993&type=proceeding&coll=portal&dl=ACM&CFID=11577385& CFTOKEN=93414629

A web-based version of the 2001 VAST ( Virtual Archaeology between Scientific Research and Territorial Marketing) conference proceedings are provided in both abstract and full text options (viewable as PDF's). The VAST conference series sponsored in part by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics promotes the exploration and use of virtual reality modeling techniques to archaeological applications. This site contains a wealth of information documenting the current uses, applications, methods, techniques, and issues concerning the creation of virtual models and reconstructions in culture heritage and archaeology. The list of resources provided on this site are only a small component of the larger ACM(Association for Computing Machinery) digital library collection. The ACM digital library contains full text citations from ACM journal and newsletter articles and conference proceedings. For a complete list of the contents of the library, view the link below: http://portal.acm.org/contents_dl.cfm?coll=portal&dl=ACM&CFID=11577385&CFTOKEN=93414629

Virtual Reality
Website: http://medievalarchaeology.unisi.it/NewPages/LINK/MOTORIAC3.html

This site developed by the Medieval Archaeology Area of the University of Siena provides a number of links to virtual archaeology sources on the web (again not specific to reconstructions). Many of the links on this site provided the basis for my research.

Virtual Archaeology: Links to Online Sources
Website: http://www.ku.edu/~hoopes/virtual.htm

An online collection of resources to applications in Virtual Archaeology compiled by John W. Hoopes of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Kansas.

Online Proceedings of ISPRS Events
Website: http://www.isprs.org/publications/online_proceedings.html

A list of links to various ISPRS conferences including international workshops on the “Visualization and Animation of Reality-based 3D Models” (2003), the “Visualization and Animation of Landscape” (2002) and “Recreating the Past – Visualization and Animation of Cultural Heritage” (2001). Within the individual conference links, there are additional links to download (in PDF format) all of the articles/papers presented at the specified conference. Between the three conferences listed above, over 100 articles are available for download in the areas of city modeling, structure modeling, object modeling, landscape visualization, and other topics including GIS, remote sensing, and photogrammetry applications.

Shape Lab – Local Events / Seminars and Publications links
Website: http://www.lems.brown.edu/shape/Presentations/
and http://www.lems.brown.edu/vision/extra/SHAPE/Publications/index.html

This site developed by the SHAPE Lab (Shape, Archaeology, Photogrammetry, Entropy) at Brown University offers a list of papers presented from a local conference series (1999 – Present) sponsored by SHAPE. Abstracts are available for all of the papers and some also have full text options. The publications link is a list of publications documenting SHAPEs various research projects. However, this link does not contain many full text citations.
