Digital preservation and virtual 3D reconstruction of "The Baker’s house" in the archaeological site of Torreparedones (Baena, Cordoba-Spain)

Abstract

Torreparedones archaeological site is in the heart of the Cordoba countryside. The documentation of the domus “The Bakers’s house” took place, being a key heritage asset for understanding its spaces.

The domus, is named after the conservation of the floor from a Roman bread oven. Also, the preservation of the base of a Roman rotating mill implies the elaboration of bakery products in this house. Due to the lack of archaeological remains, it is necessary to carry out a thorough literature review, working on the interpretation of each area. Thanks to the bibliography of contemporary domus, the interpretation of the residential area spaces is achieved, as well as the interpretation of architectural and decorative issues.

The main research objective was to obtain solid documentation to perform the 3D model of the Baker’s domus and its display by decoding QR code, that facilitates the conservation of existing Andalusian Archaeological heritage.
