New Views from Old Illustrations

Making 3D models from archaeological illustration is particularly useful for objects that are illustrated yet unavailable, whether through loss, lack of publication, fragility, museum policy, legal constraints, distance, or global pandemic. Modeling allows for new views, comparisons, and interactions with archaeological materials.

A variety of modeled views for Vessel 26, produced from an illustration published by D.D.A Simpson in 1965

Models made from illustrations published by Allison Young in 1951 of tripartite bowls from Kintyre. Modelled in a variety of views in order to make formic comparisons.
