Abstract

This video demonstrates the digital creation of a profile line i.e. drawing of a ceramic fragment, which was captured using a 3D-scanner. Such fragments also known as sherds are among the most common findings at archaeological excavations.

The rim sherd shown as an example was part of a bowl. It was found 2017 during excavations in the Roman vicus of Gleisdorf, Styria, Austria. It belongs to a group of fine ware which is called "Pannonische Glanztonware“ (PGW, Pannonian glazed pottery), which was produced between flavian times and the beginning of the 3rd century AD. PGW imitated Samian Ware vessels regarding their forms and also decorations. Usually burnt in a de-oxidizing atmosphere in the kiln and therefor black or grey, the example shown was burnt in an oxidizing atmosphere and is therefore of orange color.
