Introduction of Information Technology into Investigation of Archaeological Site-El-Zayyan Temple Site in Egypt

我们在埃及El-Zayyan神庙遗址的调查中采用了一些科学的方法和新的信息技术。引入RFID技术对泥砖建筑修复过程及大量文物信息进行管理。除了挖掘壕沟外，还使用三维激光扫描记录了寺庙的建筑和浮雕。萨卡拉的乔塞金字塔的三维数据也被记录下来。卫星图像分析被用于绘制当前土地使用的地图，并估计古代的环境，并且“坎儿井”系统和波斯和罗马时期之间的水道网络的存在已经得到证实。根据探地雷达调查结果，在寺庙外进行了连续挖掘，发现了ostra。通过对寺庙内部的清理，发现了前厅入口的石质路面、前厅与圣所之间的石质地板以及圣所的另一块石质地板。对寺庙周围天气状况的长期监测，为今后对该地区泥砖的保护提供了宝贵的信息。

We adopted some scientific approaches with new information technologies into the investigation at El-Zayyan Temple site in Egypt. RFID technique was introduced to manage the process of restoration of the mud brick buildings as well as the information of artefacts in large quantity. 3D laser scanning was used to record the building and reliefs of the temple in addition to excavation trenches. The 3D data of the Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara was also recorded. Satellite Image Analysis was introduced to make a map of current land use and to estimate the environments in ancient times, and the existence of' qanat' systems and water channel networks between Persian and Roman Periods have been confirmed. Successive excavation outside the temple was conducted based on the GPR survey results and ostraca were found. By cleaning the inside of the temple, previously-unknown stone pavement at the entrance for Forehall, stone floor between Forehall and Sanctuary, and another stone floor of Sanctuary were found. The long term monitoring of weather condition around the temple has given us valuable information for the future preservation of mud bricks in this area.
