New publication of interest: Reflectance Transformation Imaging of a ‘Byzantine’ portable sundial by Bevan, Lehoux, and Talbert
September 4, 2013 in Interest, News, Publication
George Bevan and Daryn Lehoux of Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, CA and Richard Talbert of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have published a new article, Reflectance Transformation Imaging of a ‘Byzantine’ portable sundial, in Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 187 (2013). This article should be of special interest to RTI enthusiasts and to anyone curious about the application of digital photography methods to ancient history and archaeology. It is an illustration of the remarkable advances that RTI can provide over autopic examination alone. The article will not be available for Open Access download until one year after initial publication.
UPDATE: A .pdf file of the article is provided here: ZPE 187-bevan-lehoux-talbert

I am very glad to see this important paper published, and thanks to AWMC for posting a .pdf copy online. The implications of RTI for ancient studies seem potentially vast.
