Digital technologies have been at the heart of fieldwork at the Kaymakçı Archaeological Project (KAP) since its beginning in 2014. All data on this excavation are born-digital, from textual, photographic, and videographic descriptions of contexts and objects in a database and excavation journals to 2D plans and profiles as well as 3D volumetric recording of contexts. The integration of structure from motion (SfM) modeling and its various products has had an especially strong impact on how project participants interact with the archaeological record during and after excavation. While this technology opens up many new possibilities for data recording, analysis, and presentation, it can also present challenges when the requirements of the recording system come into conflict with an archaeologist’s training and experience. Here, we consider the benefits and costs of KAP’s volumetric recording system. We explore the ways that recording protocols for image-based modeling change how archaeologists see and manage excavation areas and how the products of this recording system are revolutionizing our interaction with the (digital) archaeological record. We also share some preliminary plans for how we intend to expand this work in the future.

原生数字物流：3D 记录对考古工作流程、培训和解释的影响

自 2014 年开始以来，数字技术一直是 Kaymakçı 考古项目 (KAP) 实地工作的核心。 这次发掘的所有数据都是天生的数字化数据，来自对数据库和发掘中的背景和对象的文本、照片和视频描述期刊到 2D 计划和轮廓以及 3D 环境的体积记录​​。运动结构 (SfM) 建模及其各种产品的集成对项目参与者在挖掘期间和之后如何与考古记录互动产生了特别强烈的影响。虽然这项技术为数据记录、分析和展示开辟了许多新的可能性，但当记录系统的要求与考古学家的培训和经验发生冲突时，它也会带来挑战。这里，我们考虑了 KAP 体积记录系统的收益和成本。我们探索了基于图像建模的记录协议如何改变考古学家查看和管理挖掘区域的方式，以及该记录系统的产品如何彻底改变我们与（数字）考古记录的交互。我们还分享了一些关于我们打算如何在未来扩展这项工作的初步计划。
