Background
Site DescriptionThe Ranokot fort is believed to be associated with the Dharaja state, one of many fiefdoms within the deltaic region that existed during the decline of the Mughal Empire in the 18th century. While the Mughal governorship was based in Thatta and supported by the Kalhoras, the Ranas of Dharaja ruled the western delta region. Ranokot was one of their primary strongholds. The fort is located in an agricultural area of Mirpur Sakro. While historically it helped protect the adjacent waterways, it now lies over a mile away from the closest river creek.
Project DescriptionThe Digital Heritage Trails Project (DHTP) involves the documentation of endangered archaeological sites in the Indus Delta region in Southern Pakistan. DHTP has developed high-precision 3D representations, or "digital copies", of these sites to support effective site management, heritage conservation efforts, and climate impact mitigation. The project has also created a digital heritage trail called the "Lost Cities of the Indus Delta". The heritage trail is an exciting and innovative explorative experience, curated to provide a public audience with an online, interactive, and immersive experience, while exploring the rich history of the Indus Delta region. MaritimEA is joined by partner organisations, Kaspar Consulting and Apparatus/Chrononaut, in developing the project with the generous support of the Cultural Protection Fund, British Council and the UK Department of Culture, Media & Sport. Photogrametry using a DJI Mavic 3 enterprise with RTK position fixing enabled. Photos were were captured using a 20 MP 4/3 CMOS sensor in RAW (.DNG) format. Objectives were to produce a high resoltion 3D model of the site.
