Conference: “Im/materialities: Museums between Real and Digital”
November 28, 2023 - December 1, 2023
ITSERR took part in the international conference “Im/materialities: Museums between Real and Digital”, hosted by the Egyptian Museum in Turin from 28 November to 1 December 2023.
On this occasion, Stefano De Martino and Filippo Diara (University of Turin) presented the paper “Revealing the unperceived: 3D scanning and post-processing analysis of cuneiform tablets for philological and historical purposes”, which illustrates a research activity developed within the ITSERR – Italian Strengthening of the ESFRI RI RESILIENCE project.
Their contribution shows how 3D scanning technologies and post-processing analyses applied to the cuneiform tablets of the Royal Museums of Turin not only improve the readability of the signs, but also reveal otherwise invisible traces such as fingerprints and seal impressions, opening up new perspectives for philological and historical research and for the study of the materiality of ancient objects.
