3DVisA Index of 3D Projects: Archaeology
Stone Age Tools of the Middle Rhine Region, Germany
This project was designed to demonstrate 3D scanning capabilities for recording and examination of archaeological findings.
The Middle Rhine Valley between Bingen and Koblenz has been inscribed on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List
of cultural landscapes. Stone Age findings of the Neuwied
Basin north of Koblenz are scattered in a number of collections. 3D scanning technology was applied to record the objects and open them up for research. For this purpose,
the objects were borrowed from private collectors and scanned with
a GOM ATOS 3D scanner. It took on average about one hour to scan an artifact from all sides and to turn it into a 3D mesh model.
