Thank you again to our Mustangs Give Back Donors for making this possible!<br />
<br />
All of these models are ground stones. Ground stone are different than flintknapped stone, because they were made using different methods. As you might guess, flintknapped tools were made by flintknapping, a process in which a stone is chipped away or flaked by another stone to create a tool, like a projectile point. A ground stone is produced through abrasion: either grinding or pecking, to form the shape that the crafter wanted.<br />
<br />
Here is a grooved axe, SMU 92.1.278.20.<br />

This example is a full grooved axe. It's called "full grooved," because the groove wraps all the way around the stone. The groove could have been used to mount the axe by placing it between a split stick. some axes are half or three-quarter grooved, meaning that the groove does not completely wrap around the axe.</div>

Th<span style="font-family: inherit;">is is a Chunkey Circle Roller, SMU 92.1.278.10. Rollers like this were used in Chunkey, a game played by southeastern N</span>ative American groups.<br />

Chunkey Rollers usually have a smoother surface, and concave sides. Sometimes they have a hole through the center.</div>

The last ground stone we scanned was Birdstone SMU 92.1.126.3. Birdstones are a type of bannerstone, which were used as weights on atlatls, a prehistoric dart throwing device.<div class="sketchfab-embed-wrapper">

Most bannerstones have a butterfly shape. An alternative is a boat stone, which was used for the same purpose. Boatstones, like birdstones, are named for their shape, which is a hollowed out "cup" (think paper-boat shape).<br />
<br />
When attached to an atlatl, these bannerstones would have added more leverage, giving the dart-thrower greater propulsion. Here is an example of how they were attached:<br />

And then we scanned a Wyandotte Chert Disc from the Collins Collection (SMU 92.1.177.286). Many discs like this were found at the Hopwell site in southern Indiana. More than 8,000 of these discs were found in a cache in Mound 2.

The DIG is a unique space for students to come and create whatever they want (within reason). They have laser cutters, power tools, vinyl cutters, and 3D printers. </div>

We were only trained on the 3D printer today, and in the future we hope to use it to print some miniature vessels from the models Dr. Selden created in February.<br />

Afterwards, our instructor printed an example project. It was tiny, so it only took about 3 minutes to print. He said that the longest project printed at the DIG took about 12 hours! It was an Eiffel Tower, and was a little shorter than 1 ft.<br />

We are Marr Scholars, and are graciously funded by the Dr. Ray H. Marr Undergraduate Research Scholarship through the Institute for the Study of Earth and Man. The scholarship has made our research on exploring the uses of 3D Archaeology possible. Unfortunately, Christine was not feeling well, and was unable to attend the event. We missed you!</div>

During the event, some of the scholars prepared posters about their research projects, and others gave presentations. The subjects of these research projects ranged from anthropology to chemistry to economics, and other departments within the Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences here at SMU. We had a wonderful time at the event, and it was very interesting seeing all the amazing projects that other undergraduate are students working on!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Thank you again to both Dr. Ray H. Marr and the Hamilton Family for making all of this possible!</div>

While he's been completing the models, we began using a Dino-Lite to take microscopic photos of different sections of the vessels that Dr. Selden scanned.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We set up using a boom stand, which holds the Dino-Lite steady in place. Underneath it, we placed a foam sheet where the vessels would be in order to add padding, and protect them from the surface of the table. Sometimes, if the vessel is too small for the Dino-Lite to capture a good angle, we would place a book underneath the vessel to raise it.<br />

And then we were ready to begin taking pictures!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After focusing the Dino-Lite, we took pictures of cross sections, incisions or punctations, and the surface of the vessels.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
The cross section of an area of the vessel, usually the rim, that has been broken. This allows you to see the temper of the vessel.<br />

<br />
Incisions and punctations are decorative elements made on the surface of a vessel. Incisions are engravings made by cutting or scrapping the surface, while punctations are impressions made in the clay using either a tool or finger.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We took multiple pictures of each element at different angles of light, because it creates more dimensions, which makes for a more accurate image of the vessel.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Earlier this month, on Saturday February 6th, we continued learning about 3D scanning and modeling from Dr. Selden. One of the projects we focused on that day was using photogrammetry to create 3D models. To do this, we went the Daniels Family Cemetery, a private cemetery in Dallas, which the Daniels Family allowed us to visit. While there, we took photos of two Woodmen of the World grave markers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ5XUiCTnzT5YpAzoyAZu3f5VXxCNKWjh3R-6sJjbxOXwXaAASp1rwbxFdwM2p6uhSEmfb9IkFdfkZ3qqZqJ3_eNmLDl4CYSYeadQCH-11zLLqnBA57R-fDK_oEG6GysTSx47Ms3iYb88w/s1600/DSC_0737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ5XUiCTnzT5YpAzoyAZu3f5VXxCNKWjh3R-6sJjbxOXwXaAASp1rwbxFdwM2p6uhSEmfb9IkFdfkZ3qqZqJ3_eNmLDl4CYSYeadQCH-11zLLqnBA57R-fDK_oEG6GysTSx47Ms3iYb88w/s640/DSC_0737.JPG" width="360" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dr. Selden explained to us that these markers were provided by the insurance company Woodmen of the World Insurance, operated through WoodmenLife, upon the death of a customer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before we could begin, Dr. Seldon explained to us how to take photos for a 3D model. Here is a photo that shows Dr. Selden demonstrating how to take photos of one of the grave markers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">The method we used at the cemetery is very similar to the way we took photos of Rachel's Pet when we were first experimenting with Autodesk 123D Catch, which we have discussed in a previous blog post. We began by standing in front of the marker, and then slowly walking around it in a circle, making sure to take one photo for each step. When we completed the circle, we had about 20 photos of the marker. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Here is a photo of Sam and I holding down grass that had grown around the base of a marker, while Christine takes photos using this method.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
After this, we had to take photos at a higher angle in order to capture the top of the marker. Without this step, the 3D model would have had a hole at the top. Here is Dr. Selden showing Christine how to take photos at a higher angle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last step is to take detail shots of the marker. This step was very simple, and only required a few photos of the Woodmen of the World emblem, and some other shots of the branches on the marker. This made the details of the 3D model clearer than they would have been if we had just used the photos from the first two steps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that final step, we headed back to the lab to stitch together all of our photos and create the 3D model! But first, Dr. Selden took a selfie.</div>

When we got back to the lab, we used a program called Autodesk 123D Catch, the same program we used to create the model of Rachel's Pet, to stitch the photos together and create the model. It is a free, easy to use program that you can download <a href="http://www.123dapp.com/create">here</a>. </div>

Some graduate students came in and we started trying out one of the scanners under the direction of Dr. Selden. We used the handheld Creaform, the same scanner that Rachel learned how to use yesterday.<br />
<br />
Here is Dr. Selden teaching graduate student Ryan Breslawski to scan with the Creaform.<br />

Austin University to teach us how to use several different scanners to make 3D models of vessels. Dr. Selden demonstrated how to use the Vivid 9i, NextEngine Desktop 3D Scanner, and taught Rachel how to use the Creaform. Most of the day we were observing how to use the machines, and tomorrow we will begin using them ourselves.<br />

This is the Vivid 9i scanner. It's scanning a Ledger Art Vessel by OHET. TolhT. Kiowa, belonging to the Darling Family, and is provided by James Andrew Darling. Darling received it from his great great grandmother, Sarah Darling, who was a teacher at the Hampton Institute in the 1890s. This is real Ledger Art painted onto a factory made ceramic vessel. These items are very rare, and are interesting from the perspective of Ledger Art history.<br />

Today we started learning how to use 123D Catch! It is a program used to create a 3D models out of photos taken with any camera.<br />
<br />
<div>
<iframe id="embed3DViewer" scrolling="no" src="http://www.123dapp.com/fullpreview/embedViewer?assetId=5079476&size=medium" style="border: none; height: 555px; width: 495px;"> </iframe>
</div>
This is a first draft of our initial attempt at a 3D model. To view the model, click on the 3D option on the bottom left. Be aware the it will show the image upside down. Click and drag the image to look at all angles of the goat skull (and Dr. Eiselt's lab). If you're still having trouble seeing the model, you can try switching browsers.
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
We started using a goat's skull, who will from now on be known as Rachel's Pet (Rachel loves goats).

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We used sticky notes to mark a consistent distance from the table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, using the 123D Catch app on our phones, which uses photogrammetry </div>
to stitch together the photos, we processed the images and created our own 3D model.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Creating the model was surprisingly easy, although it took a while to process all the images on the app. To learn more about the app and how to do this yourself, visit the <a href="http://www.123dapp.com/howto/catch">123D Website</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We wanted to experience a simplified process of creating a 3D model to prepare ourselves for the more complicated process we will learn in February using laser scanners instead of photogrammertry.</div>

This semester we will undertake a digital heritage preservation project, utilizing prehistoric vessels from Texas as part of a larger digital heritage preservation initiative. Funding is graciously provided by the Marr Undergraduate Research Scholarship through the Institute for the Study of Earth and Man.<br />
<br />
The purpose of this project is to preserve vessels in the SMU collections as 3D representations that can be employed in a variety of analyses subsequent to repatriation, make data publicly available for the benefit of the community and use in future research, and to explore the capacity of 3D scanning to inform upon a quantitative analysis of variation in ceramic shape and form. <br />
