Abstract
In the contemporary landscape of archaeological research, the integration of advanced computer applications has revolutionized the documentation, examination, and restoration of antiquities. This course explores the utilization of various software tools tailored for specific tasks, highlighting their roles and benefits. Programs such as Adobe Illustrator and AutoCAD facilitate precise two-dimensional documentation, while Photoshop enhances image editing capabilities.
For three-dimensional documentation, Agisoft Metashape proves invaluable, complemented by D-Stretch for non-destructive analysis of inscriptions. Additionally, Fiji and ImageJ support microbial examination by providing essential image editing and quantitative analysis features. The study further examines analytical software like High Score Plus, which identifies inorganic archaeological materials, and Gwyddion, which transforms scanning electron microscope images from two to three dimensions. This comprehensive overview underscores the significance of technological advancements in enhancing the accuracy, efficiency, and depth of archaeological research.
