3D Scanning

New 3D Software for Artifact Documentation and Analysis - Ep 182

Archaeologists have been 3D scanning artifacts for a while now. But, what do you do with those scans? We post them on websites, use them in reports, and try to do some analysis, but, it's not consistent. This new paper from PLOS ONE is from the architects of a new software, Artifact 3D, that intends to take those scans and perform some high-level, detailed, analytical algorithms that are consistent and repeatable. We talk about it on this week's episode.

Maker Culture - Ep 163

Integrating Aerial and Underwater Data for Archaeology - Ep 103

In a recent book chapter, linked below, the integration of underwater and terrestrial archaeology was discussed. It got Chris and Paul thinking about those two spaces and how they are linked in the archaeological record. When seas fluctuate sites are buried and revealed and thinking about them together can help archaeologists interpret the past.

3D Scanning and Printing - Episode 19

On today's episode, Chris and Chris (Webby and Boone) talk to Bernard Means, the Director of the Virtual Curation Laboratory at Virginia Commonwealth University. Bernard tells us how to get scanning and printing on our field projects and we talk about how good the prints are versus just collecting the artifact or taking good photos.
