Do-It-Yourself digital archaeology: Introduction and practical applications of photography and photogrammetry for the 2D and 3D representation of small objects and artefacts.

ABSTRACT: Photography and photogrammetry have recently become among the most widespread and preferred visualisation methods for the representation of small objects and artefacts. People want to see the past, not only know about it; and the ability to visualise objects into virtually realistic representations is fundamental for researchers, students and educators. Here, we present two new methods, the 'Small Object and Artefact Photography' ('SOAP') and the 'High Resolution "DIY" Photogrammetry' ('HRP') protocols. The 'SOAP' protocol involves the photographic application of modern digital techniques for the representation of any small object. The 'HRP' protocol involves the photographic capturing, digital reconstruction and three-dimensional representation of small objects. These protocols follow opt
