disconnection of artifacts from their histories, particularly because they\u2019ve lost their provenance.<\/li>\n<li>Many artifacts acquired in the 19th and early 20th centuries possess scant documentation, leading to fragmented knowledge about these objects\u2019 origins.<\/li>\n<li>Digital tools, especially 3D scanning, offer a new way to assess potential connections between excavated fragments and museum objects.<\/li>\n<li>Computational shape analysis allows for a precise comparison of the geometry of surfaces, likening it to comparing geometric fingerprints.<\/li>\n<li>This approach facilitates comparison across geographical distances, without the need to transport fragile artifacts.<\/li>\n<li>Traditional methods in archaeology based on visual judgment and incomplete records often miss potential links between fragments and museum pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Digital archaeology does not only help reconstruct but also reconnects historical pieces that have been separated by history and geography.<\/li>\n<li>Advances in combining 3D scanning with machine learning are reshaping how archaeologists understand collections and their contexts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3D scanning and shape analysis help archaeologists connect objects across space and time to
