SUMMARY:Penzance Lecture Series – Teasing Information From Stones in Corn
 wall
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 18 January 2024\, 7.30pm\nSt John’s Hall\, Penzance 
 TR18 2QW\n\nTom Goskar\nArchaeologist Tom Goskar is a specialist in 3D tec
 hnologies in the cultural heritage sectors. Working initially with 3D reco
 nstructions\, Tom moved towards 3D scanning and analysis at the start of t
 he technology’s availability in the early 2000s whilst working for Wesse
 x\nArchaeology. Now an independent consultant\, Tom has developed many met
 hodologies and techniques. He helped to make discoveries from Bronze Age a
 xe motifs at Stonehenge to early medieval zoomorphic saints at Gulval\, an
 d at sites relating to Cornish and Scottish rock art. Tom is a Fellow of t
 he Society of Antiquaries of London and lives in Penzance.\n\nWhy now?\n3D
  scanning is becoming a mainstream recording technique in archaeology. Fro
 m built-in 3D laser scanners in phones through to photogrammetry\, structu
 red light scanners\, and AI techniques\, it continues to be a fast-paced s
 ubject full of opportunities for furthering our records and understanding 
 of the past. Using many Cornish examples\, this talk will explore why 3D r
 ecording is important to the discipline and where the technology is going 
 next\, from recovering barely visible surface details such as inscriptions
  to full volumetric capture of entire monuments and their landscape settin
 gs.\n\nFree of charge - pre-booking required\nIf you are not a CAS Member 
 we would welcome a £2.50 donation at the door towards costs.\nTo book a p
