Abstract
We will present an interactive system to perform archaeological analysis with site fea-tures, topography, architecture, artifacts and special finds from the Brown University Ex-cavations at the Great Temple site in Petra, Jordan. The system is significant because it allows a user to interact with three dimensionally referenced excavation data in a CAVE-CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment [Cruz-Neira, 1993] (a 3m x 3m room where users are immersed in a virtual environment through stereoscopic projection on three walls and the floor). Through user studies, we will investigate the types of analysis archaeologists can perform in the system and compare it to standard analysis methods using a database and maps of the site and excavation trenches.
