Abstract:The Castillo (also known at the Temple of Kukulkan) is one the most iconic structures in Mesoamerica. This temple-pyramid towers over the main plaza of the civic-ceremonial city of Chichen Itza, which once dominated the political and economic landscape of the northern Maya lowlands. Reported here are the preliminary results of a multimodal and multiresolution scanning campaign and fusion of 3D data outputs intended to more accurately record the physical attributes of the earlier temple-pyramid inside the Castillo, known as the Castillo-sub, and examine the spatial and architectonic relationships between the two structures. A focus of our scanning campaign involved the upper façades of the sub-temple and the Chacmool and jaguar throne sculptures inside the sub-temple itself. Structured-light scans of the upper façades now serve as the definitive representation of this portion of the Castillo-sub.
