Digital artefacts : Three research projects based on 3D laser scanning & modeling

Data science has brought an exciting new range of methods to humanities research that seem to be superseded with betterones at an accelerating speed. As a result, it becomes increasingly difficult for archaeologists to monitor currenttechnological trends, as well as to integrate the ever increasing amount of 'big data' into the theoretical framework of ourdiscipline. Therefore, it seems more than natural to collaborate with digital experts from other disciplines. My passion forViking art and crafts has led me into an artefact-oriented line of research, including 3D laser scanning and databasedevelopment. Preliminary results are published continuously, and I participate in various research projects as well as publicoutreaches that often connect to digital archaeology.
