This study utilises reconstruction technologies together with material and experimental photometric data to investigate how light intersects with perceptual processes inside subterranean painted tombs in Tarquinia, Italy. A fifth century BCE tomb, the Tomba dei Demoni Azzurri located in the Necropoli dei Monterozzi in Tarquinia, Italy is used to illustrate the usefulness of the methodology. Patterns involving the organisation of tomb imagery together with an analysis of specific lighting conditions in a scaled 3D space reframes tomb paintings in a manner that further recognises the performance of burial rites and other funerary activities from the perspective of human cognition. The methodology has applicability across archaeological settings and regions, particularly with respect to settings where little or no natural lighting is present.

这项研究利用重建技术以及材料和实验光度数据来研究光如何与意大利塔尔奎尼亚地下彩绘坟墓内的感知过程相交。位于意大利塔尔奎尼亚蒙特罗齐墓地的 Tomba dei Demoni Azzurri 是一座公元前五世纪的坟墓，用于说明该方法的有用性。涉及墓葬图像组织的模式以及对缩放 3D 空间中特定照明条件的分析，以一种从人类认知的角度进一步认识埋葬仪式和其他丧葬活动的方式重新构建了墓葬绘画。该方法适用于整个考古环境和地区，特别是在自然光很少或没有的环境中。
