That's when the real analysis happens and academic observations can be made. One can see how radically different the lighting/shading differs during the course of the year by comparing a timelapse of the courtyard in the summer (http://people.virginia.edu/~ewg4x/hotdc/portico_summer_0500-1900.mov) and winter (http://people.virginia.edu/~ewg4x/hotdc/portico_winter_0700-1700.mov). Computer modeling graduates from the presentational tool that it was in the 1990's to the analytical tool--and truly useful in archaeology--it is today.
