The summer solstice sun.

Excavation plan of a structure with stake holes attributable to a hut (bottom-up phase).

Cumulative spread time calculated in the GRASS 6 anisotropic wildfire spreading module. Time runs from lightest to darkest.

Wind direction grid generated by ArcView 3.1.

Reconstruction of the arthropod Sidneyia inexpectans as a 3D model built in sections derived from camera lucida drawings such as those in Fig. 2 (after Bruton 1981: fig. 107; reprinted by permission of the Royal Society of London).

2D Cartesian coordinate system with points for interpolation.

The correlations matrix of Tell Dor bowls. The index of the bowls is given along the axes.

Prototype of the VR system created by VHLab-ITABC for the House of the Vetti, Pompeii (in partnership with the ICR).

3D Cartesian coordinate system with points for interpolation.

Screen shot of wind-generated spread simulation generated by the GRASS 6 anisotropic wildfire spreading module. The spread is shown as grey-patterned area beginning at the southeastern coast of the Jutland peninsula and extending progressively eastward.

Area Siebengebirge. On the left the differences between DGM5 and PN, on the right the differences between DGM5 and TK25.

Trench IX of the Akroterion excavation at Kythera, depiction of all architectural features with simulated finds as vector points with identification numbers; generated by GRASS GIS, visualized by ParaView.

Via Flaminia Project: Collaborative Virtual Environment reconstructed on the basis of the laser scanner data of the Villa of Livia (1st c. AD, Rome).

Images of a model that is also an artistic reconstruction comparable to Sanctacaris in Fig. 4C. A is the front view of a secondary parenchymal unit (left) and B shows the central venular tree that drains it. In the original, colour coding is used to differentiate the primary units of which the whole is composed. This coding is lost in monochrome reproductions (after Teutsch et al. 1999: fig. 4; copyright of J. Wiley & Sons, Inc.).

Thematic map of the elevations with additional contour lines for the area depicted in Figure 1.

Trench IX of the Akroterion excavation at Kythera, vertical slice of all stratigraphical units; generated by GRASS GIS, visualized by ParaView.

$A. Bragg's earliest diagram of the diffraction of X-rays by a crystal (after Bragg 1913: fig. 2); B. The model demonstrating how diffraction can produce the elliptical patterns that correspond to positions of spots on the X-ray photographs such as 9A (after Bragg 1933: fig. 19).$

Four truncation levels of a profile. The corresponding 'fragments' were analyzed separately.

The normalized Fourier coefficients for the separated parts of the two jugs.

The mean and the standard deviation of the inter/intra-vessel uniformities for each section size of the flower pots assemblage. The smaller the section the higher the correlations.
