Adam Spring, Tretherras Stone, May 2006

The Tretherras Stone is located in Royal Cornwall Museum. It one of several stones that can be found all over Cornwall, West Wales, Brittany, Ireland and Scotland. It is linked to early christianity in Cornwall. The dating of such stones are highly subjective but they can be linked to the 6th- 10th century - probably closer to the latter.

This meshed scan is particularly nice at showing, to an extent, a mid range scanner can be used in a close range context.

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.
