Project details

Short description

Within the framework of trassological investigations, the surface of the famous Glauberg "Celtic Prince" was measured with SfM. The aim of this project is the detection of traces of the manufacture on the sandstone surface. From this, conclusions can be drawn about the stonemasonry tools used as well as possibly the manufacturing processes. XRF measurements should give an idea about the material of the tools: Copper, bronze or iron tools are all possible candidates.
