ARCHAEOLOGY & PALEONTOLOGY

During the last decade, the analysis of 3D images obtained through Sensofar’s 3D optical profilers in the fields of Archaeology and Paleontology are providing excellent
results for:

The analysis of wear on archaeological tools and teeth to obtain information on how people
behaved in the past.

The characterization of ablation craters associated to Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
(LIBS) measurements.

Webinar

Why an Optical Profiler is crucial for Paleontology & Archaeology

How can an optical profiler help to discover the diets of extinct species? These and other questions will be answered during this session.

How can an optical profiler help to discover the diets of extinct species? And how did our ancient ancestors use tools in the Stone Age? These and other questions will be answered during this session.
