Title
New perspectives to save cultural heritage
Author
Altan, M. Orhan

CIPA 2003 XIX"' International Symposium, 30 September - 04 October, 2003, Antalya, Turkey
The Peribole:
The “peribole”, asked a lot of questions, because of the
presence of numerous sculptures discovered in a pit, but also of
the few number of column elements discovered and of their
measures. The problem was that the architectural fragments of
the site have been robbed to serve as building materials. A very
uncertain hypothesis would be to suppose the presence of little
pedestal columns; it would be necessary in this case to examine
the discovered torus and capitals. For the cornice of this
colonnade, it would be acceptable to imagine a flat cornice. The
implantation of the eaves will inform us on the roof slope.
3.4 The temple of Nasium virtual 3D reconstitution
3.4.1 Restitution of the site plan:
The plan and excavations reports synthesis were used to redraw
an accurate 2D plan : the basis of the virtual 3D reconstitution.

3.4.2 The temple elevation restitution:
Based on the photos, a cornice profile reconstitution has been
proposed, as well as various architectural elements : podium,
cella, column, and architrave. These elevations determine di
rectly the architectural composition.

based on fragmentary state data.
3.4.3 The temple composition 3D restitution:
Different types of temple composition have been studied, in or
der to extract the most acceptable one, according to its aes
thetic, functional and constructive qualities (in relation with
various references).

3.4.4 Validation of the hypotheses:
In order to validate the given out hypotheses, the 3D restituions
propositions were systematically submitted to the archaeologists
opinions : they had the best archaeological reconstitution skills.

4. CONCLUSION
The reconstitution work of the temple of Nasium constituted an
interesting experience in several points of view. First the im
plementation of a general system of relational database allowed
a rational and synthetic organization of the data collected dur
ing the various campaigns of excavations on the site as well as
during their anastylosis.
Secondly, the use of the laser scanner brought a really precious
help to us. Thanks to the laser scanner, the data collection has
been really eased on these construction elements, but also their
immediate use in the modelling software. The 3D scanner
proved to be therefore quite applicable for the survey of these
elements in fragmentary state and showing irregular shape,
