Erik's dissertation is available online at http://munin.uit.no/handle/10037/4306
I have been concerned primarily with aerial work, hence my original questions.
I do not know of any 3D stratigraphy work....I have not looked.
We have used near vertical shots to produce 3D models of a shallow excavation in both the visible and near IR.
But as you can imagine, the walls of the excavation are a bit smeared. We had not planned making a 3D model hence only the vertical shots.
The 8.5 MB near IR model has been saved as a pdf and can be found on:

or directly downloaded here:

It should be pointed out to the uninitiated, that to form one of these models using Photoscan can be simply a matter of uploading the images and about 4 clicks on a mouse! But sometimes with many images and complex sites (or artefacts) it can be something of a sod as is usual with these techniques.
One of our group members has just got his MSc with a distinction and prize for his 3D work:
