Petrie Museum Scans

In the effort to acquire scans of museums pieces, Károly Póka has carried out an enormous and very important piece of work. Both in getting access to a metrology grade hand-held scanning device, as well as to getting access to scan artifacts at The Petrie Museum in London. His efforts have yielded high quality scans of:

• 19 hard-stone vessels
• 4 drill cores (including the famous drill core no. 7)
• 1 pottery vessel and 1 calcite vessel (as a comparison base for the hard-stone vessels)

This important work has been supported by Artifact Foundation.

Scans From Private Collections

Artifact Foundation, headed by Adam Young, has obtained several high-quality scans of vessels in private collections. This includes 4 CT scans (PV001, PV002, PV003 and PV004), carried out by Zeiss.

Another important achievement of The Artifact Foundation has been to obtain scans of both an ancient artifact in a private collection, and a modern (CNC machined) replica of that exact same vessel. The comparison of these two vessels (RV001 and PV006) will provide valuable information in terms of learning more about the tools used to create these incredible artifacts.

Modern Replicas

A sincere thanks also to Olga Vdovina and Yulia Gukasova who have invested tremendous time and effort into making vessel replicas in hard-stone without the use of CNC machinery. Their efforts sheds light on what precision can be obtained when making replicas of these vessels without the use of CNC machinery.

Their stated goal was to make replicas of the ancient artifacts using: "just stone, bone, wood, sand and a lot of persistence", however in the final process of the creation, modern tools like a rotary table (supported by ball bearings) were used to obtain the final precision of the object. Still, their work stands as an important contribution to the combined ongoing efforts.

Downloads of their vessel scans can be found here.
