Improvements of the archeoViz application

Ongoing version 1.3.3:

Data can now be exported to:

• the ‘explor‘ application to perform Correspondance Analysis,
• the ‘Amado‘ application for seriation and classification

Publication of the version 1.3.2:

• linguistic support in Romanian (thanks you, Laura Coltofean!)
• the display of surfaces becomes more flexible and makes it possible to represent archaeological structure, e.g. ground soil, trenches, pits, etc.

Publication of the version 1.3.1:

• Add linguistic support in Spanish (many thanks to Nicolas Delsol)

Indexation

• since the recent update of the Isidore.science platform, archeoViz instances are now indexed in this documentation system
• and, consequently, were attributed “handle” persistent identifiers (similar to DOIs)
