During yesterday's road trip I ended up doing some #Pictish stone captures en route including the seriously odd Class II cross slab at Migvie. The cross and three symbols are now clear as is the possibly reworked horseman on the back.#StandingStoneSunday #earlymediaeval
A simulation of the major lunar standstill at Callanish I as viewed in Stellarium. This project will be released this coming week. Watch this space! #StandingStoneSunday #megalith

This is a #3d #laserscan of a knight from Rosslyn Chapel
near #Edinburgh. The scan is from 2001 and was done with our first Polhemus3D scanner.

We also scanned some masons marks and other bits and pieces whilst there. #mediaeval #archaeology

Exploring an astronomical day in the life of #Callanish 1 through Stellarium and our 2005 #3d #laserscan dataset. We're aiming to release this next week! #megalith #archaeology #archaeoastronomy @megportal
Something a bit different. This is a lovely ceramics piece that we #3d #laserscanned in 2002 for the
Potteries Museum. Of the seven pieces we scanned on that day, this was by far the easiest (being relatively unglazed and matt white)! #ceramics
From 2005, a #rockart panel #3d #laserscan for the NADRAP project. This is one of the panels at Chatton Park. It was scanned to provide a "gold standard" to compare volunteer-led #photogrammetry captures against.
For #StandingStoneSunday, the maybe reused #megalith that now is Clach na Tiompan, or the Eagle Stone, a #Pictish Class I symbol stone. #3d #Photogrammetry data from 2018.
From my paper in "Able Minds and Practised Hands", this is a #3d #laserscan from 2002 of St. Orland's Stone, a #Pictish #earlymediaeval cross slab. How to make carvings clearer by stopping the sun's ability to cast shadows! 😃
Could be some nice photography happening tonight at #Callanish I (if the clouds behave!). @megportal #3d #laserscan #megalith #calanais
For #HillfortsWednesday.
From 2005, our #3d #laserscan of the #Pictish carvings on bedrock at Trusty's Hill. These carvings are outliers and quite odd. They do feature the unique "deely-bopper" symbol, though!
The nearby Anwoth Church and schoolhouse were in The Wicker Man movie.
