1.1. From an established Zero point, Hippodrome fresco was measured meter by meter and marked on the site and also on the plan.
    1.2. The Hippodrome fresco Plan was divided to 13 sections with sequence numbers for plotting. Every section includes three archaeological squares or fifteen meters length of the fresco wall scaled 1:50.

(Archaeological topographic grid - usually 5 by 5 meters grid measured and marked on the site before archeological digging. Archaeological square is every square of this grid where digging was performed.)

The surface of the fresco in every archaeological square was covered with couple of pictures taken by hand from close distance with overlapping about 20%.

Every image were imported and saved with file name compound archaeological square number and sequence letter.

4. Digital rectification and Mosaicing of images.

Tracing was performed in order to decrease the file size and to simplify the base map image. Again was used PhotoShop application. Working on different layer were traced manually the outlines of the plaster and fresco design. The outlines were saved in another file without the image.

This is another digital transformation decreasing one more time the file size. The advantage of this file format is also a possibility to change color and type of the line.

This is already the Base-map.

For this work was used also Free Hand. This application allows marking areas with different colors on different layers. The conservation information was mapped on according to Caesarea Color Code List of Status of Conservation and Modern Intervention.
