We have developed 3D GIS of the archaelogical excavation and
implemented it for the on-going excavation of the famous Megiddo tell.
We divide excavated elements, represented by GIS features, into GIS
layers according to archaeological periods
In addition to the
components of the standard GIS layers (i.e map of features and linked
tabular data) the developed archaeological 3D GIS contains 3D
features, each linked to a planar feature representing the same
geometric entity and to its database records.
The user can navigate
and zoom based on related 2D-3D views as well as execute standard GIS
queries, including temporal ones
