The AHRC have awarded Follow on Funding to build on the RTISAD project. This grant will explore the possibilities of digital imaging in ancient document research, in archaeology, in industrial applications such as textile design, and in other contexts.

The final section describes and shows a three-dimensional computer reconstruction model of the building as it might have looked. Continue reading →
