🔎During the workshop, we will work towards formulating best practices for the study of imprints, taking into account their specific characteristics (fragility, high three-dimensionality, alterations caused by pressure, challenges in identifying raw materials and production techniques, etc.), as well as issues related to digital documentation (3D scanning, photogrammetry, RTI). A hands-on session will offer an overview of techniques for making modern casts and impressions directly from archaeological textile imprints on clay, and will support the formulation of a decision-making strategy for taking positive imprints.
