Digitizing and Documenting Heritage for Conservation, A Case Study: Chiribiquete National Park Archaeological Site

High-resolution 3D digitization emerges as a transformative tool for the conservation and remote study of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, demonstrated by its application at Chiribiquete National Park. This method captures the intricate details, scale, and color of Paleoindian pictographs inscribed on Tepui mountain formations with minimal environmental impact or disruption to uncontacted Indigenous communities. The non-invasive approach not only preserves the archaeological heritage but also enables remote analysis and mitigates tourism-related risks, offering a sustainable model for site management.
