Digital heritage documentation of structures at the Maya sites of Birds of Paradise - North and Tz'unun in Belize

Abstract

Digital documentation of structures continued at Tz’unun with a brief operation at Birds of Paradise – North. The bulk of the data collected during the field season occurred during sessions 1-3 and focused on multi-image photogrammetry of excavations at Tz’unun: Structure 4 & 5 (ballcourt), Structure 9, Structure 13, Structure 20 (E-Group radial pyramid), Structure 21, Structure 22 (E-Group eastern platform), and Chultun 18-05. In session 4, all excavations at Tz’unun were laser scanned with the exception of Chultun 18-05, which had been backfilled at the close of session 2.
