The tubular jug from Grave 2 freely rotatable as a 3D model
3D scanning – these are the advantages for archaeology:
- Documentation of archaeological finds
- Possibility of diverse reproduction and worldwide distribution of the generated data
- Data retention if the original is lost
- Virtual assessment and interpretation of archaeological finds
- Visualization of details such as decorations
- Animation of how it works
- Computer-aided reconstruction of finds
- Production of replicas in various scales as 3D printing
In cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research, among others, the Keltenwelt am Glauberg is implementing a programme to digitise its archaeological inventory and to preserve the unique finds and make them accessible for many people to experience and explore. Some of the numerous applications are presented in the special exhibition and here.
