Abstract

This paper presents a cost- and time-effective, accessible, and practicable method of 3D site recording at an aerial scale using ground-based photogrammetry. The methodology was deployed in a recent survey of the site of Khirbet al-Mudayna al-‘Aliya, Jordan. The authors used ground-based photogrammetry to capture this 2.3 ha site, generating a com- plete and accurate 3D model and georeferenced orthophoto of the site within several days. The paper demonstrates that ground-based photogrammetry can provide a valid alternative where aerial photogrammetry is impractical. Therefore, this method is useful for baseline recording of site conditions under varying circumstances, with potential uses in site moni- toring and conservation.
