Abstract

This paper aims to discuss about the advantages of using 3D models in the analysis of small artifacts from an excavation. 3D modeling is the process of making a representation of any kind of 3D objects using computer and software. 3D models represent a 3D object such as Indus seals etc, and can be created by using "3D laser scanner". We tried to scanning the Indus seals and sealing excavated from Kanmer, Kachchh, Gujarat. We report the results of scanning and modeling of small artifacts and discuss about the merits and demerits of utilizing 3D models in Archaeology.
