Archaeologists have new tools that make it easy to scan artifacts
A European Union-funded project called "Presious" could make a modern Indiana Jones' tasks easier even if they're operating with tiny budgets. See, the initiative is currently developing a number of software tools they can use to scan artifacts. The first one can be used to scan stone objects and estimate their erosion patterns, while the second one treats scanned fragments like 3D puzzles and pieces them together. Finally, the third tool can fill in gaps in symmetrical objects if some of their pieces couldn't be found.
