Abstract:
The present article aims to provide methodological reflection on the exploitation of digitization of a large-scale archaeological site. Based on a large volume of data collected by aerial photogrammetry and GPR (Ground Penetrating radar) surveys, these scans are often used for recording the building status at the time of acquisition or for archaeological prospecting (GPR). Our approach intends to extend the use of such big data in view to enhance our understanding in the logics of urban conception of a ‘city’ of which only a few monumental parts remain still visible today. Besides, methods of urban analysis are largely based on a western understanding of the city, which is at times far from that encountered in South America before the arrival of conquistadors. Beyond the challenging knowledge specific to the field of study, the primary goal of this article is to understand how the contribution and exploitation of the present and future technologies in heritage digitalization could help us to increase our knowledge of the past.
