Why do you actually need 3D scans as an archaeologist? I have the originals in the magazine and can examine the original if in doubt! This attitude is widespread and is often expressed.

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
