3D Scanning and Digital Reconstruction in Archaeology

One of the major challenges in archaeological conservation is the restoration of damaged artifacts such as ancient pottery and human remains as well as the headless Buddha statue from the Bukit Choras site in the Bujang Valley. Conventional restoration methods often pose the risk of further deterioration, making advanced technologies like 3D scanning and digital reconstruction increasingly essential. Using laser, structured light or photogrammetry, 3D scanners capture an object’s shape, size and surface details to produce accurate digital models for documentation, analysis, and preservation.
