Abstract

Objectives: This research aims to explore the scientific reconstruction of archaeological sites, highlighting the importance of accurate documentation in virtual reconstruction. It seeks to enhance visitors' understanding of Amman's historic Al-Qal'a Mosque and encourage cultural heritage institutions to employ modern techniques in documenting, interpreting, and presenting cultural heritage.

Methods: The reconstruction of Al-Qal'a Mosque involves reviewing international charters like the London Charter (2006) and the Seville Principles (2011) for virtual visualization of cultural heritage. Case studies from various regions were examined to extract practical guidelines for clarifying and presenting historical sites. Archaeological data, features, and measurements were collected to create a precise 3D model. Information analysis and well-documented conclusions led to constructing a scientifically reliable virtual representation of the mosque on Al-Qal'a Hill.

Results: The study revealed varying levels of certainty in virtual reconstruction, necessitating the clarification of accuracy for visitors. To address this, a color-coded guide was proposed to indicate the source and strength of each conclusion. The researcher's transparent presentation of the methodology enables evaluation by other researchers, ensuring the sustainability of the work.

Conclusions: Technological advancements have facilitated the creation of 3D models for cultural sites, prompting the need for guidance in utilizing computer-based visualization in cultural heritage research and communication. This study discusses international charters, presents a case study on Al-Qal'a Mosque's virtual reconstruction, and applies international principles. A scientifically reliable virtual representation was created through meticulous data collection and analysis, with a proposed color-coded guide to signify certainty levels.
