Digital workflow on a selection of Danish excavations in the Århus area – with special emphasis on the use of 3D recording
Carsten Meinertz Risager
Abstract In recent years the amount of digital data recorded by Danish museums with archaeological mitigation responsibilities has increased dramatically, especially with the increased use of 3D recording techniques. Handling these data is complex, and involves reconciling locally evolved, practice-led digital frameworks with mandatory national databases. This presentation will provide an overview of these frameworks, followed by an exploration of the digital workflow Moesgaard Museum uses for its excavations by providing case-based walkthroughs of the different steps involved in 3D documentation of excavations. This will include a live demonstration of the 3D documentation process.
