Journal of Nautical Archaeology, 22(2): 167-172 (1993) I presented the results,
through September of 1992, of experiments with Hi8 video imagery of the
excavation levels captured as digital imagery and processed through a commercial
Geographical Information System (GIS) with the objective of producing accurate (planimetric)
mosaics of each 10 cm-thick level. Almost none of that information is repeated
here, so it's absolutely required to have the article in hand before reading
this document." - From University of Miami -
