Please join us, either in-person or online, for the final presentation of the 2023-24 Digital History Colloquium Series.

Technology to create 3D facsimiles of real-world objects has been available for decades, and yet the workflow has only become widely accessible for non-specialists in the past five years.

Professor Mark Letteney has been in the vanguard of assessing the new opportunities that this changing technological landscape can provide. His presentation will introduce the methods of 3D modeling as used by historians and archaeologists, and discuss two broad categories of use for these digital assets: models as research process, and models as research product.

Examples will derive from Letteney's collaborative project on incarceration in the ancient Mediterranean world, but with emphasis placed on the broader applicability of these tools to research in history and associated fields.

As always, the Digital History Colloquium offers a casual forum for the exchange of ideas, with sessions limited to one hour. So feel free to bring lunch, and come as you are!
