PROJECTS
PROJECT (I)
micro-CT scanning and volumetric reconstruction of extant ape metacarpals to compare morphologies and biomechanics between species. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2023).
PROJECT (II)
micro-CT scanning and images reconstruction of anatomically modern human crania from British Medieval cemeteries to extract endocasts from internal cavities. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (III)
micro-CT scanning of about twenty human teeth from British Medieval archaeological contexts to assess inner structures and dental diseases in past populations. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (IV)
3D surface scanning and digitisation of stone tool and flint flakes from prehistoric European archaeological contexts. The resulting 3D models were used to compare multiple lithic industries and assign the typology to specific human groups. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (V)
micro-CT scanner parameters testing to determine the resolution depending on size and density of bone tissues. In this specific occasion the study was conducted on human crania from anatomical collections. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (VI)
micro-CT scanning of silcrete flakes, reconstruction of projection data and cross-sextional profile extraction to compare re-entrant features. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (VII)
3D printing of KNM-ER 406, a complete cranium of the species Paranthropus boisei discovered in Kobi Foora (Kenya) in 1969. This individual is dated back to 1.7 mya. The replica was produced for a Marie-Sklodowska Curie Actions research and was part of the European Research Council-funded NGIPALAJEM project. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (VIII)
3D printing of endocasts and brains from several hominid species from for outreach and teaching purposes. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2021).
PROJECT (IX)
micro-CT scanning, reconstruction and segmentation of human teeth from various British archaeological contexts. The segmentation was performed to separate the enamel from the dentine and pulp chamber. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (X)
micro-CT scanning of human crania to compare paranasal sinus shapes. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2021).
PROJECT (XI)
3D surface scanning of very small seeds from India to investigate the inside and produce digital measurements for statistics. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2023).
PROJECT (XII)
3D printing of the Nataruk cranium (West Turkana, Africa) showing one of the first cases of inter-group violence. The cranium was printed for a Marie-Sklodowska Curie Actions research and was part of the NGIPALAJEM project. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (XIII)
3D printing of cranial digital models (originals from Spain) for outreach and seminars. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (XIV)
micro-CT scanning, reconstruction and rendering of skeletal remains from anatomical collections for curatorial, research and teaching purposes. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2021).
PROJECT (XV)
Photo reportage for the publication of scientific papers with regard to archaeological and palaeoanthropological projects. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (XVI)
3D surface scanning and 3D printing for one of the most famous artefacts from the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology of Cambridge (MAA), a Cook-voyage Polynesian sculpture. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (XVII)
Three-dimensional digitisation of a large number of skeletal elements from anatomy collections for teaching and conservation projects. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2020).
PROJECT (XVIII)
Development of the photo archive and database for the anatomy collections. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (XIX)
3D surface scanning, microtomography and segmentation of pottery fragments and beads from Denmark for an accurate investigation of surfaces in an attempt to identify the decoration technology. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (XX)
micro-CT scanning, reconstruction and rendering of the West Tofts hand-axe to investigate the inner structure and fractures. Palaeoanthropology Lab, University of Cambridge (2022).
PROJECT (XXI)
3D surface scanning and statistical analysis of prehistoric human remains from Italian archaeological contexts. 3D models were used for geometric morphometric analyses and to asses the cranial variability. Laboratory of Prehistory, Museum of Sciences of Trento (MUSE).
PROJECT (XXII)
Osteology practical classes set-up and teaching assistance. Sex and age estimation, as well as skeletal inventory. University of Cambridge (2020).
