A new Late #Neanderthal from North-West Europe recently discovered in its stratigraphical context in #Scladina cave, Belgium. Work in progress 😊 #paleolithic #paleoanthropology

@prehisto_museum Finger crossed it's a first step toward an exciting challenge: to develop and propose 3D solutions suitable for archaeological material and museums, with reduced manipulations, high quality models and textures AND low cost so it's accessible even for small museums and projects

Interresting workshop on photogrammetry and SL scanners applied to #CulturalHeritage, #museum and #Archaeology discussing the cost/quality ratio and best options according to the needs of public, curators and researchers. Thanks to @InterregFWVL and pole de la pierre in Soignies

3D model on @Sketchfab of a #lithicrefit showing #lithics reduction process by #neanderthals in #scladina cave. Crushing marks of a last unsuccesfull attempt of flake production are visible on the core

S. Prison brings together the loess and archaeological data from #Belgium. Many loess sequences, chronostratigraphical markers and Palaeolithic sites, but correlations between loess and cave deposits are tricky because of old excavations! #WLA2019

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

Amazing job, looking forward to try it...

#loess section from the famous #Neanderthal site of Rocourt (eponymous site for the MIS 5 Rocourt Pedocomplex) recorded in 3D using #metashape. Little spoiler of Pirson and colleagues later today at #WLA2019

Bettencourt site shows a repeated #Neanderthal settlement throughout 40 k years with unchanged lithic technology in different climatic settings. Later periods (MIS 4 and 3) discontinuous occupations, due to colder climate #WLA2019

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

@AmandaGHenry Thanks Amanda. I'll try to keep posting some samples on twitter. Meanwhile, I am making all available on #Sketchfab

#photogrammetry of a refitting from #Scladina as we are on the process publishing online the lithic industries from the cave. 3 years of R&D allow to produce low-cost and accurate models using tailor-made processes on #agisoft #metashape

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

@MarieSoressi Noot yet Marie, but it's just a matter of finding time or people to do it as every single piece composing the refiting has been scanned individually as well. For now we have focus on increasing the processing speed while keeping high quality models

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

Un grand merci à @ProvincedeLiege

Looking forward to the talks & posters tomorrow @ESHE_society the registration venue certainly set high expectations #ESHE2019 #paleoanthropology #fossils #evolution @ANU_BioAnth

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

Thank you @ProvincedeLiege for hosting us. And what a great team you have, they covered everything and adressed even our very last minute requests. They made us feel at home in this great place

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

I'm pretty sure @WhatKatieDigs will enjoy these Belgian chocolate souvenirs from #ESHE2019 🍫💀 #Neanderthals #ToothySmile #PleistoHERD

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

Check this @laboverie ... thanks for welcoming us and thanks to all your team working until late and greatly contributing to the success of this evening

[Chris Stringer @ChrisStringer65]

Great final dinner at #ESHE2019 (and thanks to ⁦@SilviaBello14⁩ for the pic). Big thanks also to the organisers and participants for a great conference. Already looking forward to Tubingen next year!

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

What a great team of volunteer we had this year at #eshe2019. Thanks again guys

[Becky Scott @thisisstrata]

Back from #ESHE2019! Huge thanks to all the organisers for a successful conference. Hopefully see you all next year in Tübingen!

[Kévin Di Modica @KvinDiModica1]

Thank you so much @prehisto_museum for welcoming us and making such great and funny workshop after this long day of excursion

[Becky Scott @thisisstrata]

Fire making is definitely a team exercise! #ESHE2019
