Popis: Recent developments in three-dimensional technologies and measurement instrumentation combined with multimedia databases offer today new possibilities for the integrated and complete description of Cultural Heritage Objects (CHO). In this work, we present an attempt to develop a database for archaeological ceramic and glass artifacts, where in addition to digitized two-dimensional images and threedimensional reconstructions, description, typological characteristics and historical information for each artifact will also include point-wise surface data, forming a GIS-like 1 environment for CHO. This information will contribute significantly to the comparative study of artifacts, provenance studies, determination of weathering, authentication and detection of forgery, inspection of past restorations, and ultimately, their preservation.
