Adam Spring, Knossos, Eastern Terrace, 2007

Over a four day period Andy and I scanned the South West House, Eastern Terrace and Throne Room as part of Colin McDonald's reevaluation of Knossos. Highlights include detection of reflective volcanic based materials in conservation cement and further testing of resolution settings on mason marks. Thanks to Dr Colin Mcdonald and Dr Carl Knappett.

The project was done using a Leica HDS 3000 purchased as part of the Tremough Development Vehicle - an EU Convergence Funded hub and spoke structured partnership between University Plymouth Colleges, University College Falmouth and University of Exeter ( Collectively known as the Combined Universities in Cornwall). The hub is based in Penryn (UCF, UOE Cornwall Campus), Cornwall. The Spokes are made up of campuses primarily in Truro, Camborne and St Austell, Cornwall, UK.
