These include maps, air photos, general landscape views of the site and the region. The images are in colour, something which would not have been economic in a pap er-based medium, and have brief captions. Excavating This section is a sequence of still images and video clips of students and staff at work on the excavation. The discovery of the Tuscan base in trench 3. The video is pretty rough and ready and the sound quality is poor, but that is exactly what is promised in the cover notes.
Activities shown include surveying, excavating, recording, conservation, and finds processing.
Each trench of the excavation is sho wn at various stages of excavation and a good impression of what happened during the season is provided. The potential of digital video is well demonstrated by a clip containing a description of Trench 3, such as one might receive during a site tour of an excavation, where the stratigraphy and walls are pointed out and explained in careful and thorough detail. This is precisely the information which is hard to convey with plans, sections and archaeological prose. Here a text description and images of an Archaic Tumulus near the site are provided. But the best part is a QuickTime Virtual Reality view of the constructed chamber tomb under a tumulus.
