I always love going to Govan; the cool sculpture, history, church, and most of all the excellent folks who run and volunteer! What would it be without Fraser, Simon, Bren, Tom, Scott, Bex, Al, Anne Marie and the host of other folks who give their time to make it as cool as it is!

Here's a radiance scaling view of the Upper Manbeen #Pictish symbol stone. Is the "fish monster" (only ever seen on this stone) actually two symbols: 1) the salmon; 2) a wolf-head/beast? You can also see the serpent undulating across the stone #3d #photogrammetry

Working on carving a resin version of the Scar whalebone plaque today for education and outreach; tough going! #viking #vikingage #vikings #earlymedieval

Some renders from a recent #3d #photogrammetry capture of the very weathered Class II #Pictish symbol stone, the "Princess Stone" (or Glenferness). There are some lovely swirly designs on the front and an array of interesting symbols and figures on the rear

Wonder if these are new scans or just the scans we did back in 2003 for investigation purposes.….. archive.archaeopticscloud.com/permalink/obje…

🆕️🎄 HOGBACK CHRISTMAS POSTCARDS! The Govan Stones closes up for the winter at the end of the month, October 31st, so why not sneak in one last wee visit and get yourself a new Govan Stones Christmas postcard too!

It's a night for the Southern Lunar standstill tonight We have a lot of cloud again at Callanish so I'm choosing to stay home and take part in this livestream with Victor of the simulated event using Callanish3D in #Stellarium starting approx 5.30pm BST youtube.com/vreijs

A screenshot from Victor - you can watch the simulation livestream here and ask any questions you like in the chat. youtube.com/watch?v=uN9bNx…

There are amazing!

Time lapse of over 10 minutes work where the fence grows nearly 2mm higher! This will... eventually, be a model of part of Fishamble Street in the later 10th century. #viking #vikings #irishhistory #dublin #modelmaking #museums #archaeology

As Autumn takes hold, we are getting ready to close for our winter break, so visit us and our Viking-Age collection of carved stones by the 31st of October 🎃, or you'll be waiting until April!

Glorious Govan Old Churchyard, an autumnal gem since c. AD 500.

We loved having the Archaeoptics 3D model of the wee, but perfect, Bidston hogback along to see her big cousins at Govan Old! Thanks for posting about this, Museum of Liverpool #Archaeology, and great work in funding it, SMA!

You'll soon be able to see the Bidston replica alongside the West Kirby replica hogback in the Museum of Liverpool’s History Detectives Gallery. For more on the Bidston hogback from the Wirral, see the excellent The Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture (CASSS) and its Bidston entry: chacklepie.com/ascorpus/catvo…

A fantastic episode of GEMPod in which I ramble about #earlymediaeval and #Pictish stones, laser scanning, #3DPrinting and all sorts of other stuff!

Totally legit photos from the dig….

In 2005, Emma Rennie of the Callanish Blackhouse Tearoom commissioned a high-resolution 3D laser scan of the Callanish Stones from Archaeoptics 3D This has been used to create a spectacular interactive version that can be walked around and used to visualise the combination of

It seems a lot of archaeology Twitter has done the exodus to the butterfly app. I’m one of these people so give us a follow over there as Archaeoptics.

Me, geeking out when Al from Archaeoptics 3D delivered his 1:1 #3D photogrammetry render of the The Govan Stones 🛡👑' Govan Warrior, an early medieval carved stone discovered in the UofG Archaeology and Clyde Archaeology excavations, and captured by Al within minutes of the find in Sept. 2023!

You can buy 3D miniatures of the Sunstone and the Govan Cross in our all-new museum shop! Thank you to Archaeoptics 3D for creating these beautiful laser scanned 3D replicas.
