Bloggside har passert 1000 unike besøkende i løpet av påskehøytiden. Målingene begynte i september forrige år. November var den travleste måneden så langt. Uansett, det er vel betydelig flere enn det som vanligvis leser våre skriverier i tradisjonelle numismatiske, arkeologiske og historiske kanaler.

Vel blåst!

In most societies the disposal of the corpse is accompanied by some form of celebration or ritual which may range from a simple act of deportment in solitude to the engagement of large masses of people in laborious and creative festivities. In a funerary context the term ritual may be taken to represent a process that incorporates all the actions performed and thoughts expressed in connection with a dying and dead person, from the preparatory pre-death stages to the final deposition of the corpse and the post-mortem stages of grief and commemoration.

This project aimed to complement and improving the documentation of the medieval church ruins on St. Olofsholm, Hellvi parish, Gotland, by adding a third dimension. The ruins of two churches were excavated and documented during 2013 and 2014, but the documentation was conducted from a 2D perspective. Using Image-Based Modelling techniques, based on a series of some 800 pictures taken after the excavation, it was possible to generate a model of the site and document it in 3D.
