[Abbr: Acd. Jr. AJALS]A Study on 3D Modelling Technique for recording archaeological excavation
by Manikanta Kollipara
Archaeology is considered as a vicious process, which includes the precise thorough site record which is imperative. At the time of exploration of a site, the documentation is required that helps in recreating and understanding the site. Pipeline of 3D modelling can help the archaeologists in a detailed thorough documentation process by constructing geometrically perfect 3D model of the site. The process of modelling initiates with the acquisition of data and ends the process using urbane visualization device that is utilized by researchers and scholars for the purpose of exploring and understanding the site. The whole documentation workflow is carried out using digital tools, accuracy and interoperability. This paper discusses the 3D modelling technique which is used for the recording of archaeological excavation and what type of processes are used in this technique. Keywords: Archaeological excavation, 3D modelling recording, geometric modelling
A study on Ethnoarchaeology
by Khadeeja Abdul
Ethnoarchaeology is the field of study that focus on the information required to draw the reliable behavioral inference from the archaeological data. The present study deals with the major role and importance of ethnoarchaeology that combine both the study of archaeology and ethnography. The ethnoarchaeology reviews the comparison of both the past and present data. It is well known for its facility to evaluate the assumptions utilize by the archaeologist. The review is done which contain the relevant information regarding hunter-gather mobility, technological system related with various research, prehistoric life with their archaeological records. The discussed processes was further help in the future advancement and were utilize worldwide. Keywords: Ethnoarchaeology, archaeology, ethnography, behavioral inference
Ocean Going Robots Superior to Manual Labor in Marine Archaeology.
by Anil Kumar Bachhar
Archaeology is important as learning from past can only improve future. Archaeological ruins not only work as treasure from history, but can also indirectly boost the economic condition of a country or place by supporting leisure industry of that region. Ocean being the dominant, covers more than 70% of the earth surface and holds thousands of mystery and untold stories. From scientific point of view, it is considered that ocean holds the secret of life, at the same time it withholds vast cultural heritage in form of archaeological site yet to be discovered. In case of marine archaeology, which is also known as nautical, maritime and underwater archaeology study of remains and ruins are common. In this study we focus on various ocean-going robots used for excavation procedure, and their success rate. Keywords: Marine, Archaeology, Robots, Nautical, Submerged.
A Study on Indian Heritage Conservation
by Monika Joshi
India has inherited enormous wealth of cultural heritage but in current scenario, cultural heritage are affected by ageing or weathering of materials, and natural and man-made disasters, which ultimately destroy the integrity of the Indian archaeological sites. Therefore, preservation of Indian legacy and tradition is an issue of significance, conservation is basically a process of looking after the archaeological sites to maintain its historical and cultural value by maintaining, preserving, restoration, and reconstruction. Conservation is always processed only after understanding the significance of the property. Here in this paper a study has been conducted to discuss the new method used for conservation of Indian cultural heritage for public awareness.

Ethics of Archaeologist-A Study
by Nagarajamurthy Murthy
For most of the human existences and civilizations, there aren’t any specific engraved or handwritten accounts, through which we can rebuilt life that existed in the history. Additionally, some of the prehistoric populaces bear no living successor from which one could know about their life history. Hence, archaeological data repeatedly epitomize the details that is presently accessible (Sharon N. DeWitte, 2015). The lawful and financial aspects have pushed archaeology into an era of rational and organizational turbulence. Subjects like as reburial and deportation, property and supply 'ownership,' and the incorporation of belief and science have extensively separated the archaeologists into diverse assemblies of dissimilar philosophies. The requirement for a drastic revolution of the restraint into one that demands to and assists the superior community should to be put into consideration. The frameworks of some basic ethical principles are non-maleficence, beneficence, safety and self-esteem of the active practitioners. Moral inspection can also be seen as essential in an effort to avert or diminish deceitful scientific study. Formalized moral inspection is envisioned to support the scholars in assessing and harmonizing threats of damage to members, scholars and organizations, bearing in mind what profits it might serve to humanity, communities, folks, and organizations and so on.
