This is an Arches project originally created for the Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative as part of their Round 10 funding period. Feldwork performed in 2019 produced a number of different 3d datasets, so this project is both a holding place and public-facing viewer for that content.
Three different types of 3d data are supported in this project. Each one has a graph and custom report which were adapted from arches-3d, an Arches v4.4 project.
- Pointclouds Point data processed and displayed with potree
- 3d Rock Art Panel PLY data processed with Nexus into NXS Report built with 3DHOP
- Virtual Tour ( panorama environment) Multiple 360° images combined using Panotour Report uses an iframe to display the Panotour HTML.
All of the assets for these datasets are stored on S3 and loaded into the report interface from there.
As much as possible, the original arches-3d reports have been massaged into the current Arches Resource Report extension paradigm. However, as they require extra JavaScript libraries and multiple templates, they can not be fully extracted into an Arches package just yet.
In order to support asset storage on S3 (and greatly reduce costs without reducing performance), a new "Cloud URL" node was typically added to each graph, and that URL is used to feed the report display.
The graphs, CSV load files, and reference data are stored in the legiongis/lcai-pkg package.
The Basin and Range National Monument 3D Documentation Pilot Study team was led by Architectural Resources Group. The Center of Preservation Research at the University of Colorado, Denver completed the 3D data collection. G2 Archaeology and the Nevada Rock Art Foundation selected the sample sites and features, and provided project support. Legion GIS led the Arches development with assistance from Coherit Associates who created the custom front-end design. All work was overseen by the Bureau of Land Management.
The project's source code was based heavily on the arches-3d project built on Arches 4.4 by @veuncent at Global Digital Heritage. This upgrade to Arches 6.1 was performed by @mradamcox.
