title: Heart of Neolithic Orkney - The Stones of Stenness

description: In 2010, Historic Environment Scotland partnered with CyArk and the School of Simulation and Visualisation to document five of Scotland's UNESCO World Heritage Sites in five years. These sites include the Antonine Wall, St. Kilda, Edinburgh, New Lanark and Neolithic Orkney. Neolithic Orkney is a grouping of neolithic monuments in the Orkney archipelago on the Northeast coast of Scotland that provide a rare glimpse into prehistoric life in Northern Europe. Documentation efforts at Neolithic Orkney focused on several key archaeological sites including Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, Maeshowe and the Stones of Stenness. In August 2010, the project partners used LiDAR, or laser scanning, to record the present condition of the structures as well as the surrounding context for use in monitoring and to support the ongoing management of the sites. Some 5,000 years ago, the prehistoric people of the Orkney Islands began building extraordinary monuments out of stone. Each of the four Heart of Neolithic Orkney sites is a masterpiece of Neolithic design and construction in itself. But together they represent one of the richest surviving Neolithic landscapes in Western Europe. The series of important domestic and ritual monuments gives us incredible insights into the society, skills and spiritual beliefs of the people who built the monuments. The Stones of Stenness circle and henge is a very early example of this type of monument. The surviving stones are enormous, standing up to 6m tall.

title: Antarctic Expedition Huts - Scotts Discovery

description: Geometria conducted digital documentation work for Antarctica New Zealand Event K021, a scientific collaboration between conservation architects Archifact, the University of Minnesota, the University of Waikato, Bath University, Hong Kong University, and Western Cape University. Through this collaboration, researchers have been able to monitor deterioration of the huts over time, combining different methodologies such as laser scanning with scentific approaches in biology and chemistry. Geometria donated data from three Antarctic Expedition Huts to CyArk in 2010. Constructed on the last continent of human exploration, the Antarctic Exploration Huts are reminders of the significant physical and mental challenges early explorers endured throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries on the Antarctic continent. Ten different countries launched seventeen major expeditions throughout this time, and the huts provided enough shelter to make their stay in one of the coldest places on the planet manageable. Reflecting human ingenuity and drive during the age of exploration, these structures are a testament to the power of the unknown and what is possible when people are determined to understand it.

title: Apollo 1 - Grissom White and Chaffee Memorial at Launch Complex 34

description: Working in collaboration with the 45th Space Wing of the United States Air Force, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), this digital survey and documentation was undertaken by USF's Digital Heritage and Humanities Collections group in the USF Libraries (Principal Investigators: Drs. Lori Collins and Travis Doering), to provide continuing baseline terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) survey, monitoring, and spatial recording for selected historic launch complexes. Targeted structures were chosen for ongoing assessment and 3D laser scan survey, and these data were brought together with aerial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications in a digital platform for landscape and structure consideration. The project was performed in combination with Global Positioning Systems (GPS), videography, and imaging documentation, with the 3D terrestrial laser scanning providing the referent data for the derived 3D Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD) products and archival as-is conditional reference. Launch Complex 34 of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) was constructed between June 1959 and February 1961, and is associated with the Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B missile test flights and two Apollo manned program launches. The manned mission launches include the tragic Apollo 1 fire that claimed the lives of three astronauts during a countdown rehearsal. Later, the successful Apollo 7 mission originated from this same complex. The site was deactivated in November of 1971, and two years later it was abandoned in place. Today the complex serves as a memorial to the Apollo 1 tragedy and is part of a National Historic Landmark District designation along with several historic Launch Complex facilities located on the CCAFS.

title: Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral

description: In November 2018 CyArk documented the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral in collaboration with the Directorate General of Sites and Monuments and the Secretaria de Cultura, Agenda Digital de Cultura. Citibanamex Compromiso Social supported the project. Subject to earthquake damage over the centuries of its existence, a 2017 earthquake caused further damage to the structure. Using laser scanning technology, photogrammetry, and drones, CyArk digitally capturing details of the structure today. This information will aid site managers in restoration work and preserving the cathedral, one of Mexico's most important religious and historic sites. Built on top of the capital of the Aztec empire, Tenochtitlan, Mexico City's Metropolitan Cathedral exemplifies the dynamic nature of a city and nation influenced by its indigenous and colonial histories. The Cathedral complex is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico and composed of four buildings: the cathedral, the sagrario or sacristy, the Capilla de las Animas, and the Ex curia building. The expansively ornate cathedral draws visitors from around the world and remains an active religious center for Mexicans today.

title: Monte Alban - System IV

description: In October 2008, CyArk, Leica-Geosystems, and SYSTOP travelled to Monte Alban in the Mexican region of Oaxaca to digitally record and archive major archaeological features at the site. Heritage managers at Monte Alban have faced numerous challenges in the preservation of the site including damage from earthquakes and erosion from visitor foot-traffic. The System IV structure was selected for digital preservation due to its exemplary features of the structural patterns found at the site, including a sunken courtyard and underground tunnels. While people no longer live among the structures at Monte Alban, the city, constructed around 800 BCE, remained one of the largest Mesoamerican cities for over twelve centuries, functioning as the capital for the Zapotec people. The Zapotecs built the city into the ground, leveling off the city's massive platform base, strategically placed 2000 meters above sea level in the central valleys of Oaxaca. Beginning as a centralized space for the Zapotec community, the city grew significantly over time, wielding influence over communities in surrounding regions. Observation of the lines and layout of pyramids, terraces, and platforms illuminate the meticulous architectural planning of the city. From the central platform of Monte Alban, the remarkable view of the surrounding valley and night sky above provides a glimpse into what life was like for people living in the Oaxaca Valley over a thousand years ago.

title: Gereza - Kilwa Kisiwani

description: In December 2019 CyArk traveled to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kilwa Kisiwani off the coast of Tanzania. Working in collaboration with ICOMOS International and the Antiquities Division within the Department of Natural Resources and Tourism for the Republic of Tanzania the CyArk field team documented three structures at the site. The Great Mosque, Gerezani fort and Malindi mosque were documented using terrestrial LIDAR, terrestrial photogrammetry and aerial photogrammetry with drones. Both the Malindi mosque and Gerezani fort were selected for documentation due to their location on the coast and the rapid rate of erosion taking place at these sites. In advance of the field work in Kilwa Kisiwani a workshop was held in Dar es Salaam to share information about the project, summarize current research and study around climate change impacts on heritage around the world as well as the ways that digital documentation can be used to support conservation and adaptation efforts. Kilwa Kisiwani was once a massive Swahili port town. It was first established in the 8th Century and flourished between the 12th and 14th Centuries. At its prime, it was one of the largest coastal settlements in East Africa and was an important center within the Indian Ocean trade network. The site was inscribed into the World Heritage List (with Songo Mnara) in 1981 as an exceptional testimony to the expansion of the Swahili coastal culture, the spread of Islam in East Africa and the extraordinarily extensive and prosperous Indian Ocean trade from the medieval period up to the modern era. The property was placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger in 2004 due to extensive damage that was occurring to the monuments due to sea battering as well as the reuse of the coral stones within the local village. After extensive conservation work, that included managing the vegetation on site, the re-establishment of the mangroves, filling and strengthening sections of the beach, and the restoration of some sections of various monuments, the property was removed from the List of World Heritage in Danger in 2013.

title: Topaz National Historic Landmark

description: Topaz is one of ten World War II camps where the US government confined Japanese Americans forcibly removed from the West Coast in the name of national security. The few structures that remain at the site serve as reminders of democracy's fragility in times of conflict. To further illuminate this history, CyArk collaborated with the National Park Service and the Topaz Museum Board of Directors to create an accurate 3D digital reconstruction of the World War II camp. CyArk used laser scanning and photogrammetry to document the site's buildings and topographical features, processing the data in combination with historical records. The digital reconstruction of Topaz provides a unique opportunity for people to connect with this difficult history and ensure that it is never forgotten Helen Horano Christ was nine years old when her family arrived at Topaz after being forced to leave their home in California. "When we got off the bus...a dust storm had come up. First thing we faced in Topaz was the dust. We had to make our way to our barracks, which weren't quite finished yet. In fact, we were told that the windows had just been put in that morning, and I stuck my finger in the putty, and it was still soft. I managed to leave my mark, didn't I?" The harsh landscape heavily impacted the lives of Japanese Americans confined in the camp, just as Japanese Americans' mark on the area is visible at the site today. From 1942 to 1945, just over 11,000 people were confined at Topaz. A 4-foot high barbed wire fence surrounded their one-square-mile living area. While people experienced a constant lack of privacy in the camp, many Japanese Americans found ways to make the best of their circumstances through cultivating community organizations and transforming the dusty landscape with sports fields and Japanese style gardens. The site remains an important place of remembrance for Japanese American communities and a testament to people's resiliency in the face of hardship.

title: Palace of Fine Arts

description: CyArk documented the Palacio de Bellas Artes in October 2018 in collaboration with the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (INBA) and the Agenda Digital de Cultura office of the Secretaria de Cultura. The focus of the expedition was to document the monuments exterior surfaces as well as the main theatre and stage within the monument. CyArk used a combination of laser scanning with a FARO X330 and terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry completed with a Nikon D810 and Phantom 4 Pro drone respectively. Access to the roof of the monument was provided to CyArk staff as the chief architect of the Palacio wanted accurate as built records of the utility ducting that surrounds the structure. As the monument is highly trafficked, CyArk took advantage of a planned closure of the monument to document the gardens and front facade. Known as the greatest house of culture in Mexico, the Palacio de Bellas Artes was built upon the site of the first National Theatre, in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain. Issues related to the soft subsoil as well as political unrest during the Mexican Revolution necessitated several delays and construction was not completed until 1934. The exterior of the building is done primarily in the Neoclassical and Art Nouveau styles while the interior is predominantly Art Deco. Both the interior and exterior of the building feature a variety of architectural elements drawn from Mexican history and culture and the building is also home to several important murals created by famous Mexican artists like Diego Rivera and David Siquieros. One of the most iconic monuments in Mexico City, he building has and continues to host some of the most noteworthy performances and exhibitions.

title: Fort Laramie National Historic Site

description: In 2009, Wyoming's Fort Laramie was the subject of a digital preservation pilot project between the National Park Service, CyArk, and the University of Colorado, Denver. The documentation of Fort Laramie focused on the four remaining buildings of Officer's Row (Old Bedlam, Post Trader's Complex, Post Surgeon's Quarters, Lt. Colonel's Quarters), the adjacent Parade Ground, and the ruins of the Post Hospital. The team used laser scanners and photography to capture the interior and exterior of the buildings as well as the surrounding grounds for context. The project produced highly accurate 3D data to aid in the ongoing conservation and restoration work of the fort. Additional 3D reconstructions, animations, and other multimedia were generated to supplement existing educational and interpretive media. Although small, measuring 100 by 80 feet, the construction of the site's first building in 1834 marked the beginning of a major transformation in the American west. What would later become Fort Laramie, began as a trading post where it's owners primarily traded buffalo robes with local American Indian communities, particularly the Lakota or Sioux. Throughout the mid to late 1800s, the site changed alongside the decline of the buffalo population, the intensive westward movement of emigrant populations, and the US government's militaristic takeover of American Indian lands. Fort Laramie became one of the most consequential military posts on the northern plains, playing a significant and controversial role in American Indian relations. As the 19th century came to a close along with Western expansion, the role of the fort diminished. The buildings on the site today reflect a significant turning point in shaping the American landscape today.

title: Chichen Itza

description: In 2007, the Oakland, California-based Chabot Space and Science Center, in conjunction with InSight Digital and ArtsLab, embarked upon a mission to produce high definition laser and photographic data from the ruins of Chich Itz's civic core for its ambitious Maya Skies Project. CyArk was called upon to spearhead the mission for its expertise in the digital documentation and heritage fields. In October of the same year CyArk assembled a documentation team to be sent to the Yucat, in conjunction with Michigan partners Metco Services. Over the course of three weeks, a highly detailed data set was produced which included terrestrial LiDAR, close-range laser scanning, panoramic photography, HDR photography, and traditional survey. Dozens of scans were produced from a Leica Geosystems Scan Station laser scanner, including 37 scans of the Caracol structure alone, which was the most complex structure and the main focus of the project. Six other important structures in the civic core were also thoroughly scanned, including El Castillo. A followup expedition was conducted by Epic Scan to record the Balankanche Cave. The entire project was made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation. The ancient Maya ruins of Chich Itz, located on Mexico's Yucat Peninsula about 50 miles inland south of the Caribbean coastline, represent the remains of one of the largest and most powerful city states of the pre-Columbian Americas. While the fully-restored monumental core of Chich Itz's archaeological zone covers approximately 5 square kilometers and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, the estimated extent of dense urban development at the city's peak is thought to have reached 25 square kilometers. However, much of these surrounding ruins have not been excavated and are currently covered with a mixture of dense forest and farms. Chich Itz translates as "At the Mouth of the Well of the Itza" in Yucatec Mayan, a reference to the nearby Sacred Cenote, or sinkhole, where offerings were made to various deities and from which the city derived much of its water supply. Chich Itz was a cosmopolitan city that contained monuments and buildings in a range of different architectural styles. This range is reflective of both local Yucatecan styles and influence from several prominent Mesoamerican cultural groups and clans that were drawn to the city as a regional center during its long history of occupation.
