OVERVIEW

The .obj file is a high resolution mesh model that was created from 280 photographs.
The photographs were processed using Agisoft Metashape Pro v1.7. 
The processing parameters are found in .pdf file.
The images were collected as part of the Vaigat Iceberg-Microbial Oil Degradation and Archaeological Heritage Investigation (VIMOA) project 
that was funded by the Danish Centre for Marine Research and supported by the Arctic Research Centre at Aarhus University, the Danish National Museum, 
the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, and the Greenland National Museum and Archives in Nuuk. 
Walsh et al. (2020) provides an overview of the archaeological surveys conducted during the VIMOA project.

HOW TO VIEW THIS MODEL

The .obj 3D model of the grave can be viewed using Meshlab, an open access software http://www.meshlab.net

The following instructions were tested on the Mac version of Meshlab. The process should be similar on Windows and Linux, but has not been tested or verified. 

+ Download and install Meshlab
+ File -> Import Mesh
+ Select the ‘.obj’ file
+ Wait for the mesh to load - this can take 30-60 s depending on your computer
+ If the Info Panel is not open, View -> Show Info Panel
+ To change the appearance of the model, click on the cylinder icon and options for ’Shading’, ‘Color’, and ‘Back-Face’ will appear
+ NOTE: if ‘Color: Face’ is selected the model will appear in all white; to change this select ‘Color: Vert’

For more information about Meshlab- read their documentation. 

The .laz file contains the dense point cloud and can be viewed in CesiumJS, or similar software.
