“…Nowadays it is an accurate, precise, and cheap technique (Munoz-Munoz et al, 2016). Photogrammetry has been applied in several research fields, ranging from anthropology (e.g., Adams et al, 2015;Fourie et al, 2011;Geoghegan, 1953;Ghoddousi et al, 2007;Martin & Knußmann, 1988), archaeology (e.g., Bouby et al, 2013;Counts et al, 2016;Grosman et al, 2008;Haukaas & Hoddgetts, 2016;Porter et al, 2016), medicine (e.g., Aldridge et al, 2005;Grant et al, 2019;Jayaratne et al, 2009;Plooij et al, 2009), and geomorphology (e.g., Heritage et al, 1998;Lane et al, 1996;Nunez et al, 2013;Sapirstein, 2016;Verhoeven et al, 2012) to zoology (e.g., Breuer et al, 2007;Evin et al, 2016;Jaquet, 2006;Munoz-Munoz et al, 2016;Shrader et al, 2006).…”

Objectives: Three-dimensional (3D) data collected by structured light scanners, photogrammetry, and computed tomography (CT) scans are increasingly combined in joint analyses, even though the scanning techniques and reconstruction software differ considerably. The aim of the present study was to compare the quality and accuracy of surface models and landmark data obtained from modern clinical CT scanning, 3D structured light scanner, photogrammetry, and MicroScribe digitizer. Material and methods: We tested 13 different photogrammetric software tools and compared surface models obtained by different methods for four articulated human pelves in a topographical analysis. We also measured a set of 219 landmarks and semilandmarks twice on every surface as well as directly on the dry bones with a MicroScribe digitizer. Results: Only one photogrammetric software package yielded surface models of the complete pelves that could be used for further analysis. Despite the complex pelvic anatomy, all three methods (CT scanning, 3D structured light scanning, photogrammetry) yielded similar surface representations with average deviations among the surface models between 100 and 200 μm. A geometric morphometric analysis of the measured landmarks showed that the different scanning methods yielded similar shape variables, but data acquisition via MicroScribe digitizer was most prone to error. Discussion: We demonstrated that three-dimensional models obtained by different methods can be combined in a single analysis. Photogrammetry proved to be a cheap, quick, and accurate method to generate 3D surface models at useful resolutions, but photogrammetry software packages differ enormously in quality.

“…Computational imaging, 3D scanning technologies and non-destructive analytical methods have also been applied to figurine assemblages from different spatial and temporal contexts to create 3D models for research and teaching (Morris et al 2018), examine manufacturing and production processes (Applbaum & Applbaum 2002; Delvaux et al 2017; Farbstein & Davies 2017; Kreiter et al 2014; Pavel et al 2013), explore figurines (and carved stone balls) as artefacts-in-process (Jones & Díaz-Guardamino 2019), analyse their chemical composition (Forouzan et al 2012; Kantarelou et al 2015), as well as experiment with computational algorithms that would enable fragment matching (Kaimaris et al 2011), hypothetical reconstructions (Papantoniou et al 2012) and the identification, extraction and classification of surface characteristics (Counts et al 2016; Vassallo 2016). In most cases, digital research has focused on 3D documentation and technological features of figurine making, with little or no discussion about the potential of the methods to enhance the sensory dimension of the artefacts in comparison to conventional modes of representation.…”

The image-based discourse on clay figurines that treated them as merely artistic representations, the meaning of which needs to be deciphered through various iconological methods, has been severely critiqued and challenged in the past decade. This discourse, however, has largely shaped the way that figurines are depicted in archaeological iterations and publications, and it is this corpus of images that has in turn shaped further thinking and discussion on figurines, especially since very few people are able to handle the original, three-dimensional, physical objects. Building on the changing intellectual climate in figurine studies, we propose here a framework that treats figurines as multi-sensorial, affective and dynamic objects, acting within distinctive, relational fields of sensoriality. Furthermore, we situate a range of digital, computational methods within this framework in an attempt to deprive them of their latent Cartesianism and mentalism, and we demonstrate how we have applied them to the study of Neolithic figurines from the site of Koutroulou Magoula in Greece. We argue that such methodologies, situated within an experiential framework, not only provide new means of understanding, interpretation and dissemination, but, most importantly, enable researchers and the public to explore the sensorial affordances and affective potential of things, in the past as well as in the present.

“…The scene used for the classes consisted of six photogrammetric excavation models and three 3D artifact representations. The data used for this project came from previous projects that were centered on the creation of 3D archaeological representations for research use Counts et al 2016;Counts et al forthcoming]. One significant focus of the class was a 2 x 1 m excavation trench from the Guard site (12D29), an early Fort Ancient village (ca.…”

“…For more than a decade, the focus of AAP has been on a large rural sanctuary, in use from the 8th century BCE -4th century CE. The project began work in 2014 to document the terracotta and limestone statuary from the sanctuary of Athienou-Malloura using structured light scanning [Counts et al 2016]. The three artifacts used in this teaching scene included a terracotta mask, a limestone head, and a limestone chariot created using an HDI Advance R1X structured light scanner from GoMeasure3D.…”

As archaeologists continue to utilize digital 3D visualization technologies, instruction can also benefit from purpose-driven uses of these data. This paper outlines a pilot project that used previously captured 3D data in a large-scale immersive environment to supplement the instruction of basic archaeological concepts to an undergraduate introductory anthropology class. The flexibility of the platform allowed excavation trenches to be investigated in three-dimensions, enhancing the understanding of excavation methods and providing additional insight in the choices of the excavators. Additionally, virtual investigation of the artifacts provided a way for students to interact with objects on the other side of the world in a more complete way. Instructor-led immersive virtual experiences have significant potential to widen the interest in archaeology and enhance the instruction of archaeological concepts. They allow students to interact with the content, guided by an expert, and in the presence of each other. While the facilities are not available at every university at the current time, the cost effectiveness and ability to deliver these experiences via head-mounted displays represents an exciting potential extension for complementary self-paced, yet guided, exploration.
