Abstract
The map drawn by the Anti’s team during the excavations, now preserved in Padua, remains one of the most accurate documentation of the Sok- nebtynis’ sanctuary. The acquisition of the map was followed by its georeferencing: in a first phase, the tools and information available for free from the Google Maps platform were used to locate the area containing the Tebtynis site and acquire from WorldView the related geotagged photographic raster. Here, however, the area documented by the Anti’s map is only partially visible, so the aerial photos taken during excavations in 1934 and the recent general plan of the site IFAO were also added to the project and georeferenced. This has been done for successive iterations and approximations to obtain a georeferencing of the Anti’s map that is completely overlapping to all the other selected materials. At this stage the team also used 3D ste- reograms built from the same aerial photos of 1934. The map recovery process will continue with its complete vectorization in distinct GIS layers, according to the different phases identified by Anti. During this process, some of the structures still visible in the sanctuary area have been identified, so the GIS project will contribute in future to the reconstruction of the sanctuary.Pubblicazioni consigliate
