Archaeologists helped us define the initial visualization problem and were also able to guide system development through consistent testing. In developing the system, we wanted to create new visualization and interaction techniques adequate for this specific application. In addition, by evaluating its usefulness in its final field of application, and identifying some of the characteristics of typical user interaction, we hoped to define techniques that could also be used in other applications. The results obtained from this evaluation confirm the usefulness of the environment in providing researchers with new insight over the recovered information, allowing us to advance in the development of novel interaction techniques and visualization methodologies. This result is now the basis for future advances in the system, since researchers who have tried ARCHAVE have realized its potential, and will continue to adapt their analysis methodology to use this new research environment.
