DIGITAL COMPLETION AND DIGITAL RESTORATION OF CERAMICS FROM ISSOS EPIPHANEIA USING PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND 3D MODELING

Öz

This study examines approaches to the digital completion and restoration of ceramic finds recovered during the Issos Epiphaneia Archaeological Excavations and Research conducted between 2022 and 2025, using photogrammetry and three dimensional (3D) modeling methods. The main objective of the study is to develop digital completion, digital restoration proposals based on scientific data, typological characteristics and chronological comparisons, without subjecting the ceramics to any physical intervention. In this context, the applied digital methods are not intended to replace traditional completion and restitution processes, but rather to complement them by contributing to the stages of analysis, documentation, interpretation and visualization. Within the framework of the digitalization of the ancient city of Issos Epiphaneia, ceramic fragments were documented through photogrammetric analysis, three-dimensional models were generated and missing parts were digitally completed by taking form, typology, and period characteristics into account. This approach enables evaluations of the vessels’ possible volumes, modes of use and functional analyses. All data obtained from excavation and research activities are stored in FileMaker based database systems, while mobile LiDAR technology is employed to three dimensionally scan the excavation area, architectural remains, and artifacts. In addition, data analysis and visualization processes are supported through two and three dimensional drawings, digital cloud systems and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The ceramic repertoire spanning a broad chronological range from the Neolithic Period to the Ottoman Period reveals the cultural diversity, ceramic production and continuity of Issos Epiphaneia. This study aims to evaluate the potential offered by digital archaeology applications in ceramic research through the case of Issos Epiphaneia.

Acknowledgements; this article is dedicated to my father, Retired Senior Colonel Dr., Surveying and Photogrammetry Engineer Ali İlhan Özdilek, with whom I had the opportunity to carry out numerous joint projects in the field of archaeology. Throughout my entire academic career, he continuously supported and guided my scientific work. During his service at the General Command of Mapping, he developed original devices in the field of photogrammetry, introduced innovative methodologies, authored books, and supervised numerous master’s and doctoral theses. He also taught archaeometry courses at Hatay Mustafa Kemal University and consistently encouraged me to educate students in the fields of photogrammetry and archaeometry.The second author of this article is Naif Sönmez, my master’s student, whose research focuses on digital archaeology. Writing this article together with a student I trained in photogrammetry represents the fulfillment of the responsibility and academic values my father instilled in me as a mentor and educator. I remember him with deep respect and longing.
