  abstract =     "Archaeological field work produces vast amounts of
                 three-dimensionally recorded data which can only be
                 analysed using computers. Developments in
                 data-visualization techniques are continually
                 increasing the volume and complexity of data that can
                 be studied meaningfully. In particular, three systems
                 developed at the IBM United Kingdom Scientific Centre
                 have been applied in a wide variety of archaeological
                 situations: a graphics-database system called the
                 Winchester Graphics System (WGS), IBM's IAX (Image
                 Applications Executive) image processing system, and
                 the Winchester Solid Modelling system called WINSOM. It
                 has been shown that these systems not only permit
                 well-known problems to be answered in new and
                 interesting ways but have freed archaeologists to
                 explore previously undiscovered avenues of research.
                 The techniques developed using these systems also have
                 major implications for education and training.",
