Back to the Past
My passion for the Seventh Art, which I guess I’ll give more than a few proofs in this blog as time goes by, has allowed me to gather enough confidence to distort the title of the excellent movie by Robert Zemeckis which in 1985 allowed us to travel through time with Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. In our specific version of a 1988 DeLorean DMC-12, we will create an area in which the new gadgets and computer applications will be placed at the service of History and, especially, Archaeology.
Although I should admit that would be great to be able to start a customized DeLorean in the Vin Diesels’ style of Fast & Furious and travel to the Iberian Qart Hadasht (current Cartagena), I’m afraid I have to feel disappointed you. This won’t be a corner for the funny exercises of historical fantasy or the exciting science fiction debates on travel in time. On the contrary, it’ll be rather devoted to the applications of specific software to help us in Archeology and other historical sciences.
It’s, as probably you have guessed, one of my lines of research that has given to me, equally, more headaches and more satisfactions. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), photogrammetry, 3D restitution, creation of animation videos and web pages, design of books and journal, vectorization and photograph design tools or databases will be some of the topics that we will try to discuss in this section. Sometimes we will present the final results or the future uses of each of these techniques, but there will also be room for posts devoted exclusively to tips and tutorials on specific case studies.
Fasten your seatbelt and recharge the reactor with plutonium or debris, because our trip to the past is about to begin and we have to reach 141.6 km/h in order to do so.
