Abstract
 Architectural Reconstruction of Tebtunis, Egypt, Using Photogrammetry and GIS Track: Archaeology Author(s): Todd Brenningmeyer, D.J. Begg Excavations conducted at the site of Tebtunis, Egypt, between 1929 and 1935 uncovered numerous architectural features representing more than 1,000 years of continuous occupation. Unfortunately, the results of these excavations were never fully published. Wind, sand and time have since buried or eroded much of the architecture identified during these excavations. In 1998, a series of overlapping stereo pairs of the site were discovered within the Archives of Gilbert Bagnani at Trent University. The aerial images provide a photogrammetric snapshot of the site as it appeared when fully uncovered during the 1934 and 1935 field seasons. A project to reconstruct the site's architecture using these overlapping stereo pairs and ArcGIS and Stereo Analyst software is currently underway. Architectural details, as well as wall heights, widths, and excavated room volumes, are reconstructed using photogrammetric techniques and GIS software.
