Block salvage as 3D scans I
Some block salvages of the last years are presented in these posts and their further processing into new visualizations is examined.Continue readingBlock salvage as 3D scans I
UPDATE: The figurines received a remaster! History of Nativity scenes The first evidence of a reenactment of the birth of Jesus and the surrounding events can be found in Greccio in 1223 by Francis of Assisi. For the first time, instead of preaching, he used humans and living animals to imitate the biblical traditions. Subsequently,…Continue readingNativity figurines for 3D printing
I know this is not a typical archaeological topic, but I am a massive fan of Star Trek and thought it would be fun to reconstruct a movie prop from the beginning of SCIFI movies. So please forgive me for not staying on topic and enjoy the model. Next time it will be archaeology again,…Continue readingReconstructing a 60s Star Trek phaser rifle
A quick attempt at reconstructing a medieval motte, a hybrid between a castle and a fortified house. Buildings like this existed throughout Germany and provided security for smaller villages. Everything was created in Blender 3D 2.79.Continue readingSHORT Post – 3D concept of a medieval Motte
These are the results of a short test scan. The object is a lion’s head as part of the decoration of a building. The head itself has a diameter of 5 cm and is made of brass. This 3D object is based on 39 images taken on a cloudy day with an iPhone SE. The…Continue readingSHORT Post – a lion in the List, Hannover
Bones are processed in various steps into artifacts and tools. Frequently, unfinished or semifinished pieces of raw material can be found in archaeological assemblages. These semifinished products often have characteristic traces of processing, from which conclusions can be drawn on related finished products. A particularly typical form were metatarsus needed for needle production. The Metatarsus…Continue readingTraces of Bronze Age needle making in 3D

SHORT Post – the mask from Uivar
This year I’m participating in the Sculpting January Challenge. The goal is to become a better sculptor by creating 31 models in one month. On January 2nd, the theme was masks, so I tried to recreate the mask from Uivar (Romania). The object was found in the early 2000s during an excavation by the Free…Continue readingSHORT Post – the mask from Uivar
This article is a guest article by Martin Wagner. In it, he presents some reconstructions of glass objects that were reconstructed in AutoCAD. Glass is a particularly fragile material that is usually found in a very shattered state during excavations. It is rare that a complete vessel can be reconstructed from the fragments found. The…Continue readingGuestpost: “glass reconstruction in 3D”
Last week, I finally started using my automatic photogrammetry Rig, and scanned the first test objects. Right now, the rig is placed at my employers’ office, so the first scans are published by Formwerk 3D. Using this rig, we can get the needed pictures for 3D photogrammetry models in a clean and sharp quality in…Continue readingSHORT Post – fossils in 3D
