The potential of structural analysis in archaeological simulation and interpretation : a case study of medieval Winchester Cathedral precinct
This multidisciplinary PhD provides an integration of structural analysis and archaeological interpretation, focused on the implications of methods used to generate virtual models and the analytical frameworks within which new interpretations emerge. It builds on established connections between disciplines in the University of Southamptonâs Faculties of Humanities, Physical Sciences and Engineering, Engineering and the Environment and on the AHRC funded Parnassus and Portus research projects, and on international collaborations developed by the author. The main aims are: 1. To explore the benefits of using structural analysis in an archaeological context; 2. To review different methodologies of archaeological virtual modelling; 3. To investigate how structural analysis can influence the way archaeological graphical simulations are produced; 4. To evaluate the impact of different surveying methods on the potential and practice of structural analysis. Using Winchester cathedral and its precinct as a case study allows the examination of these aims in the context of: 1. a broad range of different architectural styles; 2. contrasting surveying and prospection methods; 3. varying information including archival
