Digitization of small artifacts

This is an abstract from the « Towards a Standardization of Photogrammetric Methods in Archaeology: A Conversation about ‘Best Practices’ in An Emerging Methodology » session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Over the past 20 years, technology has been developing at great speeds. Multiple methods of digitization have been emerging and been applied to archaeology. The most commonly used tools have been photogrammetry and laser scanning. However, one of the problems encountered with those tools when digitizing archaeological data occurs when working with small-sized artifacts. This paper compares the outcomes of three methods of three-dimensionalizing small figures and artifacts: photogrammetry, laser scanning, and structured-light-technology (SLT) scanning. The comparison focuses on quality of three-dimensional image outcome as well as the time and labor required to complete it with each method. The SLT digitization method resulted in much faster process as well as more precise three-dimensional models.
