Plan urbain et SIG archéologique. L'exemple de Qalhat (Oman)

A novel approach combining Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and aerial photography, integrated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), revolutionizes urban mapping at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Qalhat, Oman. This method not only accelerates data acquisition but also enhances transparency in interpretation and spatial analysis, offering unprecedented flexibility in cartographic representation. The resulting 3D models provide a comprehensive understanding of Qalhat's archaeological reality, bridging scientific rigor with public dissemination. Published in Cahiers de Géographie, this study demonstrates how advanced technologies can transform our comprehension of ancient urban landscapes.
