The main reason for this presentation was the ethos and ethics involving Archaeology and how this can be dealt with using the concept of photogrammetry. Ethos is the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, community, site or object as manifested in its beliefs. This concept is sometimes lost in the work of archaeology. Certain cultural beliefs can be conveyed wrong or ultimately destroyed if not dealt with appropriately. As Dr. Hagseth said and many others “Archaeology isn’t for the dead”.  Photogrammetry can help with this issue. Using videos and pictures a 3-D model of a site can be used to teach and show others while also preserving not only the site but its ethos also. Dr. Hagseth proceeded to show examples of these that she has done easily.

This presentation is just the start of a bigger idea and I highly recommend visiting her site and learning more about her projects that she has done and continues to do!
