| Background |
| Site Description | Antiochia Hippos is one of the Decapolis cities – Graeco-Roman poleis generally located east and south of the Sea of Galilee. Founded in the Seleucid period, Hippos thrived in the Roman Imperial period and became a large Christian center in the Late Antique period before decline and abandonment following the earthquake of 749CE. The Northeast Insulae, located directly east of a large Roman basilica, was a wealthy domestic area in the Roman period and in the sixth century CE was rebuilt as an urban monastery surrounding the Northeast Church, a memorial church housing a cult and healing site/infirmary associated with the tomb of a revered woman. The Northeast Insuale Project is a subset of the larger Hippos-Sussita Excavations sponsored by the Zinman Institute of Archaeology at the University of Haifa. |
| Project Description | The purpose of the project was to document architectural remains of the excavation of the Northeast Insulae at Hippos-Sussita after the conclusion of fieldwork begun in 2002 and finished in 2016. 181 targetless 360 degree scans were made over a two-week period in 2019 using a Leica BLK360 scanner. 145 of these scans were merged using 381 links first with Autodesk Recap Pro and then with Leica Cyclone Register 360. The final project has a Bundle Error of 0.014m, Overlap of 48% and Strength of 68%.
The Leica BLK360 is a high speed time of flight enhanced by Waveform Digitizing (WFD) technology, Laser class 1 (in accordance with IEC 60825-1:2014), Wavelength 830 nm, Field of view 360 degree (horizontal) / 300 degree (vertical), Range* min. 0.6 - up to 60 m. |
