Bones (of child or animal) found near a wall of a
temple on the Etruscan site of Marzabotto (ancient town near Bologna).
Bad state of preservation of skeletal findings.
Acquired from a "block of ground ” technique.
Our group, together with Giovanna Belcastro
(UNIBO), is studying for a 3D reconstruction of the skeleton image.

Milestone 3: Development of a new project, in collaboration with the
“Museo Archeologico Regionale Lilibeo – Marsala”, for scientific investigation and dissemination of the Museum collection
Milestone 4: Research and development of different tomographic techniques to be developed for in situ Cultural Heritage investigations
• Tomographic investigation (in situ and in Bologna) of a selected part of the collection;
• Development of innovative systems for dissemination of scientific investigations, such as holograms of 3D-CT renderings and 3D printed objects;
• Development of innovative systems for historical information
dissemination as informative videos and animations– where appropriate in collaboration with external partners
