Three dimensional models
You are here
3D photogrammetry is one of the main methods used to record stratigraphy and structures during MEMOLA project archaeological excavations. Moreover, 3D recording, through social networks such as Sketchfab, allows us to easily present to the general public the excavations process and the results obtained. Here you can see a selection of the 3D reconstructions developed until now; we also invite you to have at look at https://memolaproject.sketchfab.me, our 3D models landing page.
Lighting techniques in crop marks
The photogrammetric record of the stratigraphic sequence allows us to recreate different illuminations.
