Introduction
My main research area are Roman Stone Monuments from the quarry until the end of their use. I am specialised in photography and 3D documentation of archaeological artefacs, and focus on the added value of these techniques such as reading faint inscriptions, standardised visualisation and documentation, digital unrolling and producing classic drawings based on these precise visualisations. I hold BAs in Ancient History and Archaeology, and a MA in Archaeology.

Unwrappings are crucial in archaeological pottery studies. Within the study of Greek pottery, unwrappings of painted surfaces have a long tradition and their significance is still well-deserved. They show the depiction without photographic distortions or partitioning in multiple photographs, enabling archaeologists to analyse and interpret the imag...
In diesem Beitrag wird eine neu entdeckte Anpassung eines Inschriftfragmentes präsentiert, durch das die Grabinschrift des Marcus Annius Iunianus wieder zur Gänze lesbar wird. Die Steine befinden sich in der Römersteinwand in Schloss Seggau in der Südsteiermark.
In 2019–2021, the so-called Römersteinwand in Seggau Castle in Styria/Austria was renovated. It was built as a lapidarium in 1831 from the spoliae derived from a late antique tower and contains more than 100 relief and inscription stones, mostly made of local marble. The removal of the plaster covering the edges allowed an extensive examination of...
In the framework of the research project on the Roman marble quarry zone of Spitzelofen (Austria) the visible quarry faces with extraction traces were completely documented by 3D data acquisition methods (on a surface of 230 m² in total). For this we used Structure-from-Motion technique (camera and drone) georeferenced by tachymetric measurements....

Archaeological projects are often faced with processing unwieldy amounts of ceramic ma- terial on-site. This documentation and analysis has traditionally required hand drawing of diagnostic sherds and vessels, which is extremely time-consuming, especially when faced with complex forms. The Guadalupe Archaeological Project operates in northeast Hond...
Aktuelle archäologische Forschung kommt ohne Interdisziplinarität und den gezielten Einsatz ursprünglich disziplinfremder Methoden und Verfahren kaum mehr aus. Dies ist jedoch keine Plage sondern eine Bereicherung: Nicht nur werden die archäo-logischen Erkenntnisse bereits im Team einer gründlichen Überprüfung unterzogen, bei der eine sich eventuel...

The added value of CT in pottery research is its ability to look into closed vessels and into the material ceramic itself. This allows the computing of profile cuts and visualisations of the i...

Generating flat images from paintings on curved surfaces is an important task in Archaeological analysis of ancient pottery. It allows comparing styles and painting techniques, e.g, for style and workshop attribution, and serves as basis for domain publications which typically use 2d images. To obtain such flat images from scanned textured 3d model...
In this article we present a digital unwrapping of the frieze of a roman silver skyphos, found at the roman villa of Grünau, Austria. We used the GigaMesh Software Framework to unwrap the 3D dataset.
On this poster, we present the application of the GigaMesh Software Framework on different archaeological finds. GigaMesh is able to handle 3D data, the surface of objects described by a mesh, acquired by low- and high-resolution 3D recording techniques. The initial development was motivated by cuneiform script and its digital processing. In the la...
