1	From Macro to Micro: Multi-scalar Digital Approaches at the Sculptor’s Cave, North-East Scotland Büster, Lindsey S., Armit, Ian, Evans, Adrian A., Sparrow, Thomas, Kershaw, Rachael, Wilson, Andrew S. 02 August 2019 (has links) No / Excavations in the 1920s and 1970s at the Sculptor’s Cave, North-East Scotland, revealed that the site was used for mortuary rituals during the Late Bronze Age (c. 1100–800 BC) and Roman Iron Age (late first to fourth centuries AD), whilst a series of Pictish symbols carved into its entrance walls suggest that the cave’s importance continued into the Early Medieval Period. A new programme of analysis has utilised advanced 3D digital documentation and 3D metrology (specifically, 3D laser scanning) to enable this inaccessible site to be appreciated by wider audiences and analysed remotely. Detailed in situ recording of the Pictish symbols was undertaken using macro-level structured light scanning and the high-fidelity digital models blended with terrestrial laser scan data of the cave interior to show the location and detail of the carvings. This chapter examines the value of emerging digital approaches in the analysis, presentation and management of the Sculptor’s Cave, from the elucidation of additional carved details and the monitoring of surface degradation, to the dissemination of this difficult-to-access site to the wider public via online platforms. / Historic Environment Scotland provided funding for scanning work.

The purpose is to find out if it is possible to gather more information about the runic inscriptions. RTI is a method that records the surface normal of individual pixels in a digital photograph by analyzing the impact of light coming from different angles of entrance. RTI produces sort of a 3D-image of the object. There will be an overview of earlier interpretations of the runic scripts written on the lion as well as an overview of Varangians in the southeast. After examination of the lion with RTI, has a conclusion been made that the method should be performed again on similar items, and on the copy of the Piraeus-lion to evaluate its full potential. archaeological science 3D Reflectance Transformation Imaging RTI RTI-viewer RTI-builder copy of Piraeus lion Varangian Runic scripts Swedish History Museum PTM HSH laborativ arkeologi Kopian av Pireus-lejonet Pireus lejonet Runiskrifter Runristningar Varjager Väringar Väringagardet Rus SHM Vikingatiden
