3D digital tools for the archaeological massive artifacts documentation

Abstract

This study focuses on 3D acquisition and documentation procedures, innovating and implementing traditional survey methods to promote and increase the efficacy of the historical and archaeological heritage fruition. Especially within museum itineraries, modern digital technologies, if consistently applied, can promote a better interpretative reading, implementing the knowledge of scholars. Moreover, in coherence with the Horizon Europe “Cultural Heritage” area of intervention, for a new future inextricably linked to the history of Cultural Heritage, it is essential to experiment approaches that favor innovative mechanisms of fruition and promotion of works of art, based on the idea that the user is an active part of the experiential path. The study presents some acquisition experiences on different archaeological artifacts collected at the National Archaeological Museum of Crotone, applying integrated technologies and defining a rigorous methodological process of analysis and control.
