PUBLISHED SCHOLARSHIP · NAMED INTERPRETATIONS

Read the arguments
behind the architecture.

Compare published proposals with the passages, plans and figures behind them. An excavation record, an author's restoration and a digital reading model each have a different role.

01 / THREE FOCUSED READINGS

What does each proposal explain?

Consultation is recorded at article, chapter and figure level. Later publication dates do not establish agreement or greater accuracy.

PUBLISHED RECONSTRUCTIONS · ONE QUESTION AT A TIME

Read the cited arguments together. A choice here changes the source comparison; it does not register images or change a model’s geometry.

Independent figure and model context

Published visual interpretation

Relationship to the model

EVIDENCE → MODEL DECISION

Sequence and evidence roles

    Evidence still needed

      PASSAGE → ARGUMENT → LIMIT

      Claims you can check.

      How the publications relate

      Works and consultation status.

      Citation-manager files contain verified supplied metadata. Consultation notes and exact locators remain attached; an export does not imply a complete reading.

      02 / CONNECTED SOURCE LIBRARY

      Find the publication, then its role.

      Context resources where no publication record was imported

      These are research surfaces and access routes. Their inclusion does not claim that every work in the linked corpus was newly consulted.

      03 / IMPROVED WORKFLOW

      Read before adding detail.

      1. Choose a question and freeze the earlier edition. Preserve existing geometry and consultation history.
      2. Inspect the actual publication. Record chapter authorship, edition, printed pages, figure roles and what was unavailable.
      3. Separate claims and reconstructions. Identify the author's completion, its evidence and any explicit criticism. Do not derive agreement from chronology.
      4. Check every visual's reuse terms. Embed only admitted licensed assets. Link restricted figures at the publisher.
      5. Connect sources to the model honestly. Name the model's source proposal; preserve independent frames, dates and alternatives.
      6. Audit citations, controls and final files. Test export metadata, claim locators, rights, source selection and stable artefact hashes before integration.
      Intent, logic, feasibility and improved prompt

      The aim is to strengthen scholarly explanation and make published reconstructions usable as attributed arguments. The feasible unit is a bounded article, chapter, room or debated proposal. A larger bibliography alone does not strengthen a reconstruction, and open reading access does not grant image reuse.

      Audit the source-to-model links across Archaeology World. Select a few high-value debates; inspect original publications and figure captions, verify bibliographic metadata and exact locators, and distinguish observation, interpretation, authored restoration and unknowns. Integrate competing proposals as named alternatives, with documented relationships and per-asset rights. Add a searchable source library and citation exports using verified metadata. Reuse unchanged models; add geometry only when newly inspected evidence supports it. Validate scholarship, visual attribution, user interactions and release scope separately.
