Cambridge, MA – Steve Wilkes, Director of Harry R. Feldman’s 3D program, is part of a grant awarded by the National Center for Preservation Training and Technology to perform laser scanning of the Longfellow House in Cambridge, General George Washington’s headquarters during the siege of Boston.
Along with archaeologists from Brown University and the NPS, Wilkes will work on integration of ground penetrating radar and other geophysical surveys with the laser scanned data as part of the continuing cutting edge work integrating 3D data both above and below ground to help understand and successfully manage our country’s heritage.
There will be a graduate level workshop on August 20-25th and a professional development day on October 21st for those interested in learning about the technology, methods for application to standing structures and their surrounding environment, and findings!
