the bbc had a link on the first (perhaps of many) 3d scans of skulls and items from the mary rose.. There are a few so far, some tools and items of the carpenter from the ship..

Interesting, thanks for posting it John

Cool... I guess it means the artefacts can be 3D printed, so theoretically they'll last forever.

That's a thought, I don't know if they have/make available the file for download...

Great site. The spoon and grooving plane were very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

The Smithsonian and the BM (I think) hve 3D files on their websites.

Its a growing field in Archaeology. My tutor has scanned buildings by photogrammetry but noting at higher resolution, as he hasnt the technology, nor a printer...

...I would love a 3D printer...

Cool, the Micropast team behind it have more models, that are downloadable.

Using a 3d print as a pattern in casting some of metal objects would be cool.
