For our March meeting we were delighted to welcome Dr Kathryn Piquette to talk about digital documentation of ancient stone carving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of her talk, Dr Piquette says;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this lecture, we will briefly review research I presented to the EEG in 2015 and 2022 on the Narmer Palette and the methods of its manufacture. We will then look at the latest phase of this ongoing study utilising advanced image data and detailed digital drawings to isolate significant features and patterns relating to the stone carving process. Comparisons with inscribed fragments of the Palermo Stone provide further insight into early Egyptian stone working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Kathryn Piquette is a Sessional Lecturer and Senior Researcher in Cultural Heritage Imaging with the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities<\/a>‘ Advanced Imaging Consultants<\/a> (UCLAiC). Before UCL she held positions at the Cologne Center for eHumanities<\/a> (CCeH) and the Institut f\u00fcr Altertumskunde<\/a>, Universit\u00e4t zu K\u00f6ln.
