Athens-1814 is an Attic white ground lekythos, Sappho Painter, dating from c. 490 BCE, and from the Necropolis of Piraeus, Athens (Edward Dodwell, before 1805) (Morais et al., 2021).
Aims: 3D digital documentation; morphological characterization; technological and functional analysis of archaeological Greek pottery.
Data acquisition: at the Museu de História Natural e da Ciência da Universidade do Porto (MHNC-UP), with a portable non-contact structured white light scanner, Breukmann smartSCAN3D-HE, equipped with stereo colour cameras at 250 mm FOV. Additional metadata included in associated spreadsheet.Data processing: 26 scans aligned and merged. PT-PC-Athens-1814_3D01.ply: non-manifold edges, self-intersections, small components, and small tunnels in the mesh automatically fixed, noise data removed; orientation and position normalised. PT-PC-Athens-1814_3D01-holesFilled.ply: holes filled for calculation of material density, filling volume, and centre of mass. Mesh is not watertight (inner surface not digitised due to occlusion). Additional metadata included in associated spreadsheet.
Access to the Athens-1814 was granted by its private collector.
