3D Laser Scanning in Guatemala

A team from the University of South Florida's Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies is using 3D laser scanning to document carved and incised archaeological materials from the site of Kaminaljuyu in Guatemala. Here, the team is using a Minolta Vivid 9i Laser Scanner to fully document a carved Mayan ceramic vessel from another site. The piece is at the Popol Vuh Museum in Guatemala City. The project is sponsored by a grant from the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. (FAMSI), http://research.famsi.org/3D_imaging/index.php
Travis Doering, Project Director is speaking to a representative from the museum as Co-director, Lori Collins processes the scan data.
