3D in Archaeology The Institute of Art and Design carries out research and product development projects, which create new information and understanding. The Degree Programme in Media is doing research on how 3D simulation could be used as a documentation device in archaeology and building conservation.This is most helpful when examining building fragments and underwater discoveries, and also to disseminate information in an easily understandable format. The research objects include, forexample, the remains of underwater pile dwellings in Estonia and the ruins of Pompeii. As a part of a University of Helsinki interdisciplinary study, 3D Visualisation students have made a simulation of the Marcus Lucretius house in Pompeii. Conservation students are involved in a project concentrating on pigment analysis and conservation of fresco fracments.
