고고학적 디지털 기록에 대한 단상(斷想)-indoor-

Abstract

The 21st century has become the age of ‘Digital Transformation’. ‘Archaeological Record’ is also produced using various digital technology. This record was named ‘Archaeological Digital Record’. This paper mainly focused on archaeological digital records produced in indoor work. I focused on excavation report and database. Digital archeology has begun to establish itself as a field of archeology in South Korea as well. After understanding the current situation, I wanted to find out the problems and find a direction. Therefore, I avoided content that overlapped with existing digital archeology related papers and dealt with content close to qualitative evaluation and recommendation. Excavation report produced from archaeological digital record isn’t consumed effectively. The reason is that there is no standard for recording. We must calmly judge the achievements of the past 10 years and build an exemplary integrated archive including 3D data. In particular, because there are very few archaeologists who can use and produce 3D data, I concerns about a complete separation between producers and consumers. University education can buffer that separation, and raising awareness among university members is necessary. This must be followed by policy support and cooperation from national agencies, including the Cultural Heritage Administration, excavation and research institutes. The most common and important archaeological record used by archaeologist is drawing. Drawing using 3D scanning is produced with sufficiently good quality, and standardization is not a major problem. It is expected that it will spread rapidly and be commercialized in the future. In proportion to this, 3D data will accumulate even more, and if public storage is not established, it will be reduced to digital waste. 3D data does not stop at simply producing record, but has high utility value in various fields such as education, research, contents, and popularization. Therefore, it is desirable for a national agency to standardize excavation report and take responsibility for the direction of 3D data storage along with policy. The keywords ‘standard’, ‘policy’, ‘preservation’, and ‘management’ must always be assumed in the construction of an integrated archive of archaeological digital record, which will be realized in the near future. Through this, data that guarantees compatibility and universality must be continuously upgraded and managed to enable permanent preservation and operation.
