Join us in welcoming Emily Jane Murray, Public Archaeologist for FPAN’s Northeast Regional Center for her presentation “Ask me About the Lasers: 3D Applications in Archaeology.” SAAA lectures are free and open to the public!
Archaeologists are using 3D technology to document archaeological resources, from the smallest artifacts to entire sites and buildings. Techniques like terrestrial laser scanning, photogrammetry, and 3D printing can help us track changes to sites through time to understand impacts from climate change, transport people to hard to reach sites, and make privately held collections more accessible. Learn about the technology, how we document resources using it, and how this data helps us better understand and interpret the past!
