More model informationThis model is made from a bitumen artifact. It is a petroleum asphalt block with reed impressions that was recovered from a Mesopotamian trading colony in Syria dating to 3600 BC (Schwartz and Hollander 2016). A 3D print was made at the Grand Valley State University Tech Showcase located in the library.
Further research can be done with this artifact by creating a mold of the 3D model to find out more about the reed and rope impressions on it. This artifact is only 5 cm wide, proving that the photogrammetry software is able to scan very small objects.
The model was made as part of a case study intended to test the effectiveness of digital cultural and historical preservation techniques.
