3D meshes of wood samples (CuTAWAY project)

The repository contains 3D meshes of 83 wood samples from the LEIZA reference collection, which were created within the framework of the project "Mass Finds in Archaeological Collections", which was funded by the "Kulturstiftung des Bundes" and the "Kulturstiftung der Länder" from 15.04.2008 to 31.12.2011 as part of the "Program for the Conservation and Restoration of Mobile Cultural Property" (KUR, see www.rgzm.de/kur).

About 10 years later, the surface of the wood samples selected for the CuTAWAY project was again digitized using a 3D structured light projector (GOM ATOS III Triple Scan Rev.02) with a resolution of 0.10 mm. The CuTAWAY project was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) from 2019 to 2023 (CuTAWAY - Conservation and Wood Analyses, DFG - 416877131 and SNSF - 200021E_183684).

For each wood sample the following files are available: a file of the 3D mesh in *.stl format and two files with metadata in *.json and *.ttl format. The 3D data acquisition was carried out during November 2019 - April 2021.
