Background
Site DescriptionAntiochia 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 DescriptionThe 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.
