“…All of these tools are in common use today in the field of Archaeology, in particular they have been driven by work on fossil material, but increasingly they are applied to more recent skeletal finds, archaeobotany (García-Granero, et al, 2016, Ros, et al, 2014, zooarchaeology (Cucchi, et al, 2011, Evin, et al, 2013, Owen, et al, 2014 and to material culture such as ancient architecture (Levy and Dawson, 2009), stone tools (Buchanan and Collard, 2010, Buchanan, et al, 2011, Okumura and Araujo, 2014, and pottery (Hein, et al, 2008, Kilikoglou and Vekinis, 2002, Wilczek, et al, 2014. As these tools have become more commonly applied, useful ways of combining them have come to the fore.…”

“…Theories associated with reverse engineering are not widely applied in archaeology (Bouzakis et al, 2010); however, there are a number of archaeological examples associated with finite elements analysis (FEA) that do point toward a broader interest in the application of reverse engineering principles. Examples of FEA in archaeological practice can be seen in analyses of ceramics (Kilikoglou & Vekinis, 2002;Gandon et al, 2011), the USS Arizona (Foecke et al, 2010), the Albolafia waterwheel (Castro-García et al, 2015), and ancient architecture (Levy & Dawson, 2009).…”

The goal of this project was to scan and reverse engineer one of three bronze cannons (41MG86 -11900-1) recovered from the La Belle excavation, which is currently on exhibit at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin, Texas. A freeform computer aided design (CAD) model was generated based upon the topology of the three-dimensional (3-D) mesh in Geomagic Design X with a desired maximum deviation of 0.1 mm between the model and the mesh.Deviations were calculated in Geomagic Control X using the surface model as the reference data, and the mesh as the measured data. A custom patch network was subsequently designed using a series of iterative revisions until the whole of the surface model met with the specified tolerance. The 3-D surface model of the cannon will be replicated in a variety of media at variable scales for use in exhibits and for educational and promotional material for the Texas Historical Commission, the Republic of France, and their partner museums.
