PaleoAmerican Artifact Digital Archive

This project will create a three-dimensional image archive of paleolithic artifacts and present on the web a virtual artifact database. This pioneering use of imaging technology has significant implications for the virtual preservation of otherwise endangered materials. Contact: Michael R. Waters, Department of Anthropology.

The Nautical Archaeology Digital Library

This project is developing a digital library of artifacts gathered in the domain of Nautical Archaeology and will use it to examine tools and their application in the day-to-day scholarly practice in the area. The project is a collaborative effort of researchers in Texas A&M University’s Center for the Study of Digital Libraries (CSDL) and Nautical Archaeology Program (NAP).

Wilder Three-Dimensional Imaging Lab

Website: http://nautarch.tamu.edu/WilderLab/Main.htm

The Wilder Three-Dimensional Imaging Lab is located in the Department of Anthropology, College of Liberal Arts, TAMU. The lab was founded, thanks to the generous support of William and Donna Wilder. Work in the Wilder Lab focuses on many aspects of diagnostic imaging for the purpose of archaeological work and as part of the archaeological artifact conservation process. Archaeological photography, non-contact 3-dimensional laser scanning, CAD-based design and rapid prototyping and 3-D printing and NURBS-based artifact reconstructions are routine activities in the lab. We frequently collaborate with St Joseph Regional Medical Center’s Radiology Department to conduct some classes and we have assisted us with CT and MRI Imaging of complex artifacts.
