Background
Site DescriptionLahiri Bundar is an 11th century port located in the lower Indus Delta in Sindh in modern Pakistan. Through the centuries, it has been an important trading port for the region, connecting Central Asia and the hinterlands of the Indus river to the trade networks of the Indian Ocean. Ships from Arabia, Persia, and the Ottoman Empire brought goods to the port to be taken to the city of Thatta and further inland. The port eventually declined in the 18th century as gradual sedimentation due to riverine alluvial flows made its harbours and anchorages unusable.
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. 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. Handheld photography was undertaken using a Sony A7IV with images saved in RAW format. Objectives were to produce a high resoltion 3D model of the site.
