Ochreous Flint Artefacts from Sheringham

3D acquisition and modeling for flint artefacts analysis

In this paper, we are interested in accurate acquisition and modeling of flint artefacts. Archaeologists needs accurate geometry measurements to refine their understanding of the flint artefacts manufacturing process. Current techniques require several operations. First, a copy of a flint artefact is reproduced. The copy is then sliced. A picture is taken for each slice. Eventually, geometric i...

From Physical Artefacts to Products

The central activity of industries is to produce and sell products. Although we all share a common understanding of what a product is, there is no formal definition of this concept which is satisfactory from an ontological viewpoint and could serve as a departure point for enterprise integration. To fill this gap, we look at the notion of product from the perspective of foundational ontology: w...

NTL vs FLINT

All tests were carried out on a very lightly loaded machine with a 64-bit Intel “Haswell” CPU (Intel Xeon CPU E5-2698 v3 at 2.30GHz) with plenty of memory (over 250GB). The operating system was Cent OS. The compiler was gcc v4.8.5. We compared NTL v9.9.1 with FLINT v2.5.2. These were both built using GMP v6.1.0. All of these were the most recent releases of these packages at the time we carried...

Virtual Crime: Forensic Artefacts from Second Life

Second Life is an online virtual environment which is populated by users from all over the world. The virtual environment is split into a variety of public and private areas; these provide avatars with a chance to explore a wide range of environments and interact with other users. There is also an opportunity for users to create personalised environments; organisations such as the BCS have crea...
