The technological analysis is one of domains for which the 3D technologies have to bring again a lot. The analysis of stigmas or surface markings left by the operations of shaping and surface processing on ceramic was chosen as case study, because it is still often led thanks to visual or radiographic observations in 2D. It is a compared approach which is proposed here, by the implementation on the same corpuses of protocols of acquisition and 3D modelling by lasergrammetry, photogrammetry or the RTI (Reflectance Transformation Imaging). The results reveal methods that are more relevant to macrotrace analysis than others.
