Towards a best practice for the use of active non-contact surface scanning to record human skeletal remains from archaeological contexts (2017)
Journal Article
Errickson, D., Grueso, I., Griffith, S., Setchell, J., Thompson, T., Thompson, C., & Gowland, R. (2017). Towards a best practice for the use of active non-contact surface scanning to record human skeletal remains from archaeological contexts. International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 27(4), 650-661. https://doi.org/10.1002/oa.2587

Active surface scanners emit light or a laser stripe to record the exterior surface of an object or landscape, providing results in three dimensions. The use of active surface scanners to record anthropological and archaeological contexts has increas...
