Our results suggest that image-based 3D modeling can be both a time-efficient and cost-effective as well as a scientific valuable method to document archaeological excavations. Although there are limitations, these are greatly surpassed by the possibilities. We believe that image-based 3D modeling can cause a(n) (r)evolution in archaeological excavation practice.{Computer visionSolid modelingThreedimensional displaysarchaeological heritagecomputer visionexcavation methodologystructure from motionthreedimensional registration}10.1109/DigitalHeritage.2013.6743734
