Description

Virtual surface models as triangular meshes and two videos showing rendered versions of 935/671_13 (filename 935_671-13) underlying the analyses of wooden tools in the publication "Evidence of the earliest Hominin use of wooden hand-held tools found at Marathousa 1 (Greece)" (Milks et al., in prep). 

Within the provided document:

  • All surface models, except for 935/671_13_UHR, were direct outputs of surface scans acquired utilizing a hand-held Artec Space Spider.
  • The surface model of 935/671_13_UHR was extracted from a high-resolution CT scan (for further details, see the method section of the accompanying publication). This surface model is uploaded as a zip file due to its size.
  • The two videos show different manipulations of the rendered surfaces of 935/671_13_UHR.
