VisTA : An Interactive Visualization Tool
for Archaeological Data
Abstract:We have developed the VisTA system which is an interactive visualization and simulation tool for archaeological and geographical data. The goal of the system is to support archaeologist's work in the formation and discovering of knowledge about the evolution of ancient villages. Specifically, the system permits visualization of ancient villages using 3D Computer Graphics and simulates formation of the village over time, letting users set the lifespan of each house and evaluate the settings. VisTA also allows users to walk through the village, greatly assisting archaeologists studying the village spatial and geographical layout.
