Document Details : Title: Reconstructing the South Theatre at Jerash Author(s): SEAR, Frank , HUTSON, Andrew Journal: Ancient Near Eastern Studies Volume: 37 Date: 2000 Pages: 3-26 DOI: 10.2143/ANES.37.0.1080 Abstract : A team from the University of Melbourne made a detailed architectural survey of the South Theatre at Jerash in 1994-6. In addition to the survey a study was made of several thousand architectural fragments which were stored behind the theatre. This allowed a reconstruction to be made of the missing upper order of the scaenae frons. As the original survey had been made digitally the information was used to produce digital reconstructions of the missing parts of the theatre as well as a visualisation of the theatre as it may have looked in Roman times. The value of such digital recording and computer reconstructions is that they can easily be altered to take account of new evidence. |
