Rebuilding the Ancient World Design Melissa Carrasco Computer modeling gives archaeologist the means to represent data. These computer models can then be modified as new data is collected. There are many applications available to develop these computer models. One such example of computer modeling being used in the field of archaeology is the Pompeii Forum Project. These computer models of ancient buildings are useful to archaeologists as well as to the general public because they allow people to see how non existent builds may have looked.
Archaeology is a field that is also using computer modeling.
Computer modeling gives archeologists a way to take all of their data and theories and make a three-dimensional. They are able to reconstruct ancient buildings that have been ruins for hundreds of years. Not only does computer modeling allow them to make a three-dimensional picture of the structure, it makes it easy for them to go back and change the picture when they receive new information. In order to understand the importance of computer modeling to archaeologists, we must first understand computer modeling. To get the full concept of a computer model, first think of a photograph of an object.
