MIRAGE - Geographical Information System: Database & Applications



GIS application at Petra's Great Temple. Artifacts referenced and defined in 3D will allow archaeologists to reconstruct artifacts (a & b), do advanced spatial analysis, link artifacts between sites (c, d & e) - e.g., tracing lamps between sites in the region will allow us to trace trade routes - and maintain more comprehensive, accurate and accessible records of artifact geometry and find locations.
