We recorded this in the UK while we were there to scan vases and cores in the Petrie Museum. Learn about the process, the amazing technology of the structured light hand scanner, and the preliminary findings!

0:00.0 | The entire setup has just changed because we are in London on the journey, trying to prove |
0:08.6 | some measurements on the ancient vases in the Pige Museum. |
0:13.5 | But it was very cool to see just to talk a little bit about what you're actually doing |
0:20.2 | and like the prep work that you did |
0:21.5 | for this and you know just thinking ahead about it practice runs all of that kind of stuff was really |
0:28.1 | really awesome to watch take place so it's not just like yeah we're going to go in there and |
0:32.9 | done it was uh the process of scanning itself was in some ways an engineering project. |
0:41.3 | The most difficult part of it was that this is really cutting edge technology |
0:47.3 | which we are trying to bring into a very tiny museum. |
0:51.3 | So the space you have in the museum is small. And you need a very powerful |
0:57.0 | computer to process all this data. We were not only bringing in the scanning equipment, |
1:03.0 | we were bringing in endoscope, which you had. And also we had coach calipers to measure basically the vol thickness all around the ways |
1:14.6 | that was handled by our precision expert, Chris King. |
1:19.6 | A guy from Florida, Max, who he said, he basically was like, I have access to electron scanning microscopes and I would love to |
1:30.7 | look at some of these faces. So if copper had been at any point used as an abrasion or even |
1:39.0 | to carry an abrasive, there should be tiny, tiny remnants of copper caught in the stone in the tool marks. |
1:47.0 | They came from beneath the step pyramid. |
1:49.3 | A couple of things that we noticed, number one, no copper at all. |
1:55.8 | And we looked at like five or six different pieces. |
1:57.9 | But two of them had tin or zinc and a strong titanium return Action. |
2:23.4 | Cheers, guys. |
2:27.5 | Cheers. |
