title = "Perspectives and Contrasts: Documentation and Interpretation of the Petroglyphs of Chichictara, Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Image-Based 3D Modeling",
abstract = "In this chapter we present our research activities at the petroglyph site of Chichictara near Palpa. Along with the discussion about the documentation methodology including terrestrial laser scanning and photogrammetry we here present the Geographic Information System (GIS) that we intend to use as a tool for archaeological interpretation of the site and its components. Furthermore, we focus on the question of the added value of the adoption of new documentation technologies concerning archaeological interpretation. We are confident that through such adoption new perspectives regarding both the interpretation of the original social meaning of the petroglyph site and the iconography of its pictures are revealed. The adoption of new technologies sheds new light on the archaeological interpretation of the petroglyphs of Chichictara.",
