Unwrapping surface from ancient cylinder seals
The first pilot project for the new CyI Imaging Center followed the installation of the three camera systems at the Cyprus Institute in February, 2012. The installation was overseen by Marilyn Lundberg and Ken Zuckerman of the West Semitic Research Project (WSRP) at USC. WSRP was responsible for the construction of the PTM dome and the 360-degree camera system.
After installation and testing of the systems, Lundberg and Zuckerman, along with Ropertos Georgiou of STARC, led a workshop organized and directed by Nikolas Bakirtzis of STARC for members of the CyI and staff from cultural heritage institutions, museums and archaeological authorities to introduce the systems and their usages. Participating institutions included the Department of Antiquities, the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation (BOCCF) and the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia. These institutions kindly agreed to bring objects from their collections, such as icons, portable paintings, coins and ceramics for the hands-on demonstration of the imaging systems.
