Ben Franklin’s Mastodon Tooth, Frederick Douglass’s Arrow Point, and a Deadeye from a Revolutionary War Shipwreck: A Decade of Historical Archaeology in the Virtual Curation Laboratory (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Beyond the Classroom: Campus Archaeology and Community Collaboration" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Virtual Curation Laboratory (VCL) was formally established at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in August 2011 using funding from a Department of Defense (DoD) Legacy Resource Management Grant and a partnership with Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ). The impetus for this cooperative project led by...

Building a Virtual Bridge Connecting Indian Himalayan Archaeology with a Virginia University and the World (2017)
The Virtual Curation Laboratory at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond, Virginia, and the Archaeology Department of Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna (HNB) Garhwal University, in Garhwal (Srinagar), India, have partnered to create three-dimensional (3D) models of artifacts and sculptures from the trans-Himalayan region of northern India. Many of these items are on display in the HNB Garhwal University Museum of Himalayan Archaeology and Ethnography. This partnership seeks to preserve these...
Cache Cave in Context: 3D Scanning Complex Cave Environments for Mapping and In-Situ Documentation of Artifacts (2015)
The spatial documentation at Cache Cave entailed the mapping of the cave’s interconnecting passages and shelters, its taphonomic environment, and the archaeology present at the site. Due to its complex formation and small spaces, the overall cave structure could not be recorded by more traditional mapping methods. Through the use of three-dimensional (3D) scanning during the Spring and Summer of 2014, a multi-scalar, high resolution approach was used to capture both the interior structure and...
Crafting, Sharing, and Representing: The Molds and Figurines of Calakmul, Mexico (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Three-dimensional multi-line laser scanning reproduces highly accurate models that preserve measurable characteristics of portable artifacts such as figurines, whistles, stamps, and molds. Metrological analyses are revealing valuable information about manufacturing techniques, the crafter’s tool kit, the function of these artifacts, and the extent of...
Creating and Curating a 3D Dataset: Establishing Categories for Ancient Maya Musical Instruments Using 3D Scans (2017)
The Maya Music Project is dedicated to documenting ancient Maya musical instruments throughout the Maya area. Over the past year and a half the project has been documenting instruments housed in both archaeological laboratories and museums in Guatemala, Belize, and the United States in order to better understand the types of musical instruments that were played by the ancient Maya. At the time of writing this abstract, the project has worked with over 250 musical instruments, and has made 3D...
Digital Documentation of Ancestral Pueblo Architecture and Rock Art in SW Colorado, USA: Heritage Management, Education, and Visualization (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The sandstone multilevel architecture (including famous cliff dwellings) from the central Mesa Verde region, southwestern Colorado in the US Southwest, together with rock art represents Ancestral Pueblo occupation in the prehispanic times. This poster shows the application of various digital techniques for detailed documentation, visualization, and...
Geometric morphometry versus traditional stone artefact typology in the Hoabinhian of northern Vietnam (2017)
Hoabinhian typologies dominate stone artifact analysis in discussions of late Pleistocene archaeology in mainland Southeast Asia. Although, the objective reality of the types in this system has been questioned, there has been little empirical work to test the usefulness of the commonly used types as discrete entities. We collect 3D scan models of 110 artifacts from Mau A, a recently excavated site in northern Vietnam, where the Hoabinhian was was first described. We derive semi-landmarks along...

How Good Are My Scans? A Quick Primer on 3D Scan Quality Control and Metadata Recordation (2018)
Over the past few years 3D scanning technologies have become a more common tool for archaeologists. These technologies allow for the rapid collection of large datasets that hold the potential to be used not only for display purposes, but also for sophisticated morphological analyses. In order to leverage 3D scan data for anything more than general viewing however, we as archaeologists must become fluent not only in the recording of metadata associated with model creation, but also in evaluating...
Los Horcones, Offering 1: 3D Imaging, Analysis, and Reconstruction (2018)
The three dimensional imaging of artifacts discovered at the Los Horcones site in Southern Chiapas Mexico has enabled archaeologists to approach artifacts in a brand new way. With the use of a 3D scanner hardware and 3D program software, objects and features of various sizes are scanned to create a proportional and scale digital version. The scanning of artifacts allows for minimal handling of the objects decreasing the likelihood of wear, damage, deterioration, and contamination, effectively...

Producing Knowledge Through the Production of 3D Digital Artifacts (2017)
It is becoming more common to see 3D digital artifacts used for analysis and interpretation, often as if these digital forms are equivalent to the original. This paper discusses the process of creating a 3D model as an essential but often under considered aspect of the final product that should be taken into consideration in their use in any archaeological analysis and interpretation. Digital artifact models inhabit a strange place amongst the suite of traditional archaeological data – their...
