Asset Overview

This 3D model of a vessel shows traces of modification of the base by a tool. The original pot was produced with the wheel-coiling method as defined by Roux-Courty (1998), shown below. ![](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Caroline_Jeffra/publication/317545934/figure/fig30/AS:504406546317317@1497271300319/FOUR-METHODS-OF-RKE-AND-COIL-COMBINATION-ROUX-AND-COURTY-1998-749-FIGURE-1.png) View our blog post about wheel coiling [here](https://tracingthewheel.eu/article/what-is-wheel-coiling) Forming video available via YouTube **Technical details** The 3D model was created with the David SLS-3 scanner and processed with HP 3D Scan Pro 5 by archaeologist Loes Opgenhaffen. The original file size is 741MB, has a resolution of 0.0202mm (vertex spacing) and contains 5928006 vertices. To be able to make a printable model that still shows the relevant traces, the base part was separated from the rest of the decimated model of the vessel (741002 vertices), upscaled 3 times and converted to a STL file in Cinema4D.
