Dear subscribers to the archeoViz newsletter,
This is the 14th archeoViz newsletter, about July 2024. The main news this month regards how datasets covering a surface (i.e. “sites” and “dates” datasets) are handled in the archeoViz Portal.
Feel free to submit us any questions and suggestions about the application and its interface, possible datasets, or people likely to be interested (write to: archeoviz-maintainers@services.cnrs.fr).
All the best,
Sébastien, with Anaïs & Élisa

archeoViz Portal: additions and improvements
New instances and datasets
This month, 3 new instances have been referenced on the archeoViz Portal:
- FosSahul, a database of dates from Late Quaternary non-human vertebrate fossil records from Sahul
- SahulArch-c14, a database of published radiocarbon ages for archaeological records from Sahul
- Haristoy, presenting data from the notebooks of excavations made in this cave in the Basque Country in 1955-1956
Datasets spatial coverage
“Sites” and “dates” datasets include information about multiple sites, defining a surface on Earth. Consequently, a new feature on the archeoViz Portal makes it possible to display these surfaces. To activate it, click on “Show surfaces covered by the datasets”). Accordingly, the coordinates of the covered surfaces are now included in archeoViz Portal metadata.
Improvements of the archeoViz application
A forum has been created to discuss about the archeoViz application.
