The methodology of large-scale contactless documentation of amphora stamps

The paper describes the methodology for digital documentation of amphora stamps developed on the basis of photogrammetric 3D modelling. The results of the study include technical requirements to modelling results, a set of equipment and devices, documentation of 328 amphora stamps and 3D polygonal models, with the size of each polygon being 0,005 mm. The results obtained show that, in principle, it is possible to use this methodology that enables the researchers to create large datasets of digital stamp images which can then be analyzed and published in a short time.
