Bonn Center for Digital Humanities (BCDH)
The Bonn Center for Digital Humanities (BCDH) is a central service facility that advises and supports all researchers from the humanities disciplines at the University of Bonn in the application and development of digital methods and tools.
Together with the University and State Library (ULB) , the University Computer Centre (HRZ) and the Digital Science Center, the Center offers a broad and demand-oriented portfolio of tools and services under the umbrella of the Faculty of Humanities and the Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies (BCDSS). In addition, the institution advises researchers on issues related to the permanent preservation, provision, presentation, and licensing of research data in close cooperation with the Research Data Service Center.
The videos with multilingual commentary are intended as an aid to independently carrying out a complete workflow for generating a digital 3D model.
For the first time, a Mongol-era walled enclosure was discovered on the right, eastern bank of the Orkhon in Arkhangai aimag. Its documentation was carried out with a fixed-wing eBee X drone. The design of the settlement, comparative examples and artifacts are briefly described. It was only used during the 13th/14th century CE and testifies to the intensive development of the Orkhon Valley during the Mongol Empire.
The 46th conference of "Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology" was held in Tübingen, Germany, March 29-23, 2018. Now the proceedings have also been published. The papers discuss the whole spectrum of digital archaeology. Free access to the papers is available on the University of Tübingen publisher's page (see below).
Including an Article by Jason E. Laffoon & Till F. Sonnemann: Isotopes, Isoscapes, and the Search for Geographic Origins: Unrealized Potential or Unrealistic Expectations?
