title: Heart of Neolithic Orkney - The Ring of Brodgar

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 Ring of Brodgar is a great stone circle 130m across. Surrounded by a rock cut ditch, it is set in a spectacular natural amphitheatre of lochs and hills.

title: Mission San Juan Bautista

description: In December 2012, CyArk partnered with California State University Monterey Bay, the California Missions Foundation, and the San Juan Bautista parish to digitally document Mission San Juan Bautista. Western Digital supported the project's field data collection through the generous donation of portable hard drives. Mission San Juan Bautista is the fourth California Mission to become part of CyArk's Digital El Camino Real de California project, which aims to digitally document all twenty-one mission along El Camino Real established by the Spanish in Alta California. Remnants of Spanish colonization of the Americas, Mission San Juan Bautista provides a window into the development of the American West and the beginnings of the state of California. From its initial construction in 1797, the area surrounding the building has transformed over time becoming a colonial Spanish mission, Mexican pueblo, and finally an American town. The Mission San Juan Bautista encapsulates the inventive artistic influence of Spanish colonial artists seen in the church's collection of apostolate paintings. The church also embodies the effects of Spanish colonist's program of religious and cultural conversion on local Native American communities marked in the adobe structure, which local American Indian laborers from the Mutsun tribe mostly constructed. Mission San Juan Bautista and the surrounding historic district are touchstones for understanding the diversity of cultural influences that have shaped life in California today.

title: New York State Pavilion

description: In 2014, CyArk documented the New York State Pavilion, one of few remaining structures from the 1965-65 World's Fair. Included on the World Monument Fund's 2008 list of most endangered sites, CyArk partnered with the University of Central Florida, and Langan Engineering to digitally document and archive the structure. CyArk used laser technology (LiDAR) and photogrammetry to record the present condition of the pavilion. The structural skeleton of the New York State Pavilion's 'Tent of Tomorrow' echoes a world on the cusp of technological innovation. Designed by architect, Philip Johnson, three futuristic towers sit next to the circular tent-like structure, held up by sixteen columns and a massive circular steel frame. In 1964, the cables on the steel frame supported translucent fiberglass panels where people gathered to watch and listen to live shows under a warm expanse of multi-colored light. In addition to its technological construction, the site was a catalyst for other kinds of innovation, including work by renowned artists Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg. Today, the 'Tent of Tomorrow' is part of the NYC park system and immersed in ongoing discussions of how to preserve the city's forward-thinking past for future generations.

title: Normandy American Cemetery

description: In 2018, CyArk traveled to Normandy, France to digitally capture and archive the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. This project was in continuation of CyArk's prior work in the area preserving sites associated with the Allied-led attack on German-occupied France during World War II, also known as D-Day. Working with the American Battle Monuments Commission, CyArk conducted an aerial survey using techniques in photogrammetry and laser scanning to document important structures. Documentation included indexing and photographing 9,386 headstones, providing site managers with high quality and easily accessible photographs to share with loved ones and family members. Overlooking the English Channel, the headstones of thousands of American soldiers who lost their lives in battles along the French coast are a reminder of the area's turbulent history. The US First Army established the cemetery following the D-Day attack on June 8, 1944. It was the first of a total of thirteen World War II cemeteries that the United States would establish on European soil, reflecting the massive loss of life of the deadliest war in history. Seemingly never-ending lines of stark white crosses communicate not only the loss of life, but also the significant personal impact that the war had on fellow surviving soldiers and loved ones back home. Today, the site is a place of remembrance for family members, local residents, and visitors from around the world to pay tribute to those who gave their lives in French waters and soil, turning the tide of the war in favor of Allied forces.

title: Piazza del Duomo - Pisa

description: In February 2005 and July 2006, teams from the Development of Integrated Automatic Procedures for the Restoration of Monuments (DIAPReM) from the University of Ferrara, the Institute of Science and Information Technology of the National Research Council in Pisa and the Department of Architectural Design at the University of Florence conducted a High Definition Survey of the Piazza del Duomo. The data was acquired from 30 positions and was focused on the exterior parts of the Cathedral, the Campanile and the Baptistery. The 3D survey was coordinated and georeferenced with a topographical survey conducted by the DIAPReM team. The final 3D laser scan survey data was registered within the topographic survey with an average error of 3mm and fused into a master dataset (point cloud) that contains a total of 256,653,388 points. Pisa's Piazza del Duomo, also known as Piazza dei Miracoli (Piazza of Miracles) is an expansive, grassy field dominated by three, white marble, monumental works of architecture: the cathedral, babtistery, and campanile. They are famous for their construction and location at the entrance of Pisa, as well as for the campanile's infamous inclination, causing it to be called the "Leaning Tower of Pisa." While these three structures were commonly all part of a single church in northern Europe, their existence as three individual entities is typical of Italian practice of this era. A fourth structure, a walled cemetery, provides an edge on the north side of the site.

title: Chav de Huantar

description: CyArk's involvement with Chav de Huntar began in 2005 when a research group from University of California, Berkeley traveled to Chav to document the archaeological site with LiDAR. This expedition was meant to supplement research conducted under John Rick at Stanford University. The data produced in this expedition, currently hosted by CyArk, became a foundation for executing a conservation plan for the site. The venture was funded jointly by Stanford University and the Kacyra Family Foundation. With changing and more intensive El Ni weather patterns, Chav has been under risk of flood erosion. In 2017 CyArk returned to Chav to document the site's canals and the adjoining river bed to assist ongoing conservation efforts. LiDAR and photogrammetic documentation was completed over the principal structures. Located in the Peruvian Andes, Chav de Huantar was the strategic capital and religious center of the pre-Inca, Chav civilization. The project team from the University of California at Berkeley traveled to Chav to digitally preserve this important site. The project's goal was to support and supplement archaeological activities and research being conducted by Stanford University with the intent of the new data becoming the foundation for an on-site conservation plan.

title: Oj

description: In September 2019, CyArk and a team from IMISI3D in collaboration with the Adunni Olorisha Trust (AOT) and the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) of Nigeria documented three monumental structures at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Osun Osogbo. Despite its national and international significance, many of the shrines and art pieces in the Sacred Grove have fallen into disrepair over the years due to a lack of resources. In an effort to revitalize some of the work done by Susanne Wenger, since 2005 the AOT and NCMM have begun implementing conservation efforts on some of the shrines in collaboration with the local community. The documentation completed as part of this project provides a comprehensive and detailed inventory of the current conditions in 2019 as well as a variety of multimedia content that can be used to raise awareness of the site. Aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry and laser scanning were employed at Il Ont, the assembly hall of the earth cult; Oj , the central shrine for worship and Iy Mo , a monumental statue and shrine to the goddess of women's occupations. Over the course of one week, CyArk and four workshop participants from IMISI3D documented the structures and conducted interviews with local artists and artisans in The 75 hectare sacred grove of Osun Osogbo is the last remaining high forest in the country containing monumental sculptures and shrines depicting Yoruba deities. The site was assigned World Heritage status in 2005, and represents the last example of a once widespread practice of establishing sacred groves by the Yoruba people. The site is unique in having a large component of 20th century sculpture, some created by Austrian artist Suzanne Wenger who eventually became a high priestess and dedicated her life to the sacred grove.

title: Jaulian

description: With a grant from USAID to create a Technology Center and help preserve Pakistan's architectural heritage, CyArk and the Lahore University of Management Science (LUMS) worked together to digitally preserve the Jaulian monastery. In 2014, LUMS students scanned the main stupa and surrounding features of the Jaulian monastery, sending the data on to CyArk to process and archive. The resulting documentation provides an accurate base map to monitor deterioration of the architectural, figural, and inscriptional works of the site. This data complements existing historical documentation and conservation materials and advances the capability for planning future preservation efforts. More information on Jaulian as well as a complete list of the other sites documented from this collaboration can be viewed at http://heritage360.pk/ Jaulian was constructed between the 2nd and 4th centuries in the early days of Buddhist expansion out of the Indian subcontinent in the Ancient state of Gandhara. Centered around the confluence of the Kabul and Swat rivers in Modern day Pakistan and Afghanistan, the region attained its greatest florescence during the Kushan Kushan between the 1st and 4th centuries CE. Jaulian is part of the Taxila archeological site, home to the ruins of a once thriving ancient city and center of learning in Gandhara. It was along the trade routes of Taxila Valley that buddhism is believed to have spread. The Buddhist monastery and associated stupas of the Jualian archaeological complex shed light on the early evolution and spread of Buddhism along the Silk Road. The complex of Jaulian consists of the main stupa and twenty-seven subsidiary stupas located around the main stupa and two adjacent courts. An additional fifty-nine chapels are located around the courts and feature scenes from the Buddha's life. Several structures related to monastic life, including monk quarters, assembly hall, kitchen, and store room complete the complex. With access to land routes to the Parthian (Persian) Empire in the West, seaports along India's West coast, and the Central Asian corridor of the Silk Road, Gandhara was well situated to benefit from commercial activity. The Kushan Empire fostered commerce through cultural inclusion, borrowing characteristics of their Hellenistic, Persian, and Indian influenced subjects , which allowed them to more easily engage in trade with their neighbors. This cultural fluidity is also visible in the blend of architectural features on the stupas at Jaulian, which show Greek, Persian, and Roman characteristics within the Buddhist complex.

title: Tule Lake National Monument

description: CyArk was awarded a grant by the National Park Service's Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program to create 3D digital recreations of sites associated with the US government's World War II incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans who lived along the West Coast. Tule Lake is one of three sites of Japanese American incarceration that CyArk documented in 2011. The few structures that remain at the sites serve as reminders of democracy's fragility in times of conflict. To further illuminate this history, CyArk used laser scanning and photogrammetry to document the site's buildings and topographical features, processing the data in combination with historical records to create a 3D digital reconstruction of what the site was like during World War II. CyArk's digital reconstruction of Tule Lake provides a unique opportunity for people to connect with this difficult history and ensure that it is never forgotten. Tule Lake is one of ten World War II camps where the US government confined Japanese Americans, the majority of whom were US citizens. Of the ten camps, Tule Lake's legacy remains particularly controversial. In 1943 the US government turned the Tule Lake camp into a "Segregation Center" where they incarcerated Japanese Americans who they deemed "disloyal" based on an ill-conceived questionnaire. People incarcerated at the Tule Lake Segregation Center ended up there for a variety of complex reasons, many having nothing to do with their loyalty to the United States. Commenting on the questionnaire answers that landed people in the "Segregation Center," a government official stated, "We can recognize that the answers wrung from them under the strains and perplexities with which they were faced is no more an indication of disloyalty than medieval trials by torture were an evidence of witchcraft."

title: Fort York National Historic Site

description: Partnering with Iron Mountain in 2017, CyArk documented Fort York as part of an innovative preservation initiative commemorating 'Canada 150.' Using terrestrial LiDAR scanning, photogrammetry, and aerial drone photography, CyArk created a digital record of the eight buildings and surrounding earthworks that make up the site. Site mangers were able to use the data CyArk collected to determine the exact location of a historic ammunition magazine that had been previously unconfirmed. Canadian conservators will continue to use this data to monitor site conditions and help guide archaeological field work in the future. Canada's largest collection of original War of 1812 buildings and 1813 battle site, Fort York marks the birthplace of modern day Toronto, Canada. The fort was a site of major battle between the United States and Britain just a decade after the revolutionary war. Troops at the fort consisting of British, Canadians, Mississaugas, and Ojibways defended the fort against 2,700 American soldiers. With over three times as many soldiers the Americans forced the British to retreat. American troops occupied the the city of York for six days, burning down buildings and looting homes. The city of York would remain in the hands of the British at the end of the war, but Fort York's landscape, marked with original buildings from the war of 1812, remains a significant place for understanding colonial influence on the roots of Ontario as a province and Canada as a nation.

title: Temple of Eshmun

description: The Temple of Eshmun was documented as part of Project Anqa a collaboration between the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), CyArk and Yale University's Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage (IPCH). In January 2017, CyArk held a workshop at the UNESCO offices in Beirut, Lebanon to provide training in digital preservation techniques to local heritage professionals from Syria and Lebanon. As part of the training program, The Temple of Eshmun was documented using both terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry and LiDAR laser scanning by CyArk and the Syrian Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums in collaboration with the Lebanese Directorate of Antiquities. Support for this project was provided by the Arcadia Fund. The Temple of Eshmun was established sometime at the end of the 7th century BCE by Phoenicians who worshiped Eshmun, the god of healing. Phoenicians were sea faring peoples who lived in the Eastern Mediterranean Coast, largely controlling the trade routes in the Mediterranean. They were particularly famous for exporting cloth dyed in Tyrian purple, attained from processing a specific sea snails living in the Mediterranean sea. The Temple of Eshmun is located 2km north of Sidon, a major Phoenician town south of Beirut. The location of the temple was chosen due to its proximity to a water source that would be used in ceremonies. The site was damaged following a large earthquake in the 4th century BCE. However, later cultures continued to build around this important religious site. Today, the site contains a diverse range of structures from different eras.
