‘Non-contact 3D laser scanning as a tool to aid identification and interpretation of archaeological artefacts: the case of a Middle Bronze Age Hittite Dice’

We discuss how the 3D data created by laser scanning a metal fourteen-sided Hittite Dice from the Garstang collection (National Museums Liverpool), in conjunction with historical research, has led to new considerations about how this unusual object may have been manufactured, when, where and for what purpose.
