In
the light of the recent exciting developments in the recording
of excavations by construction of 3D models from series of
modelled single context surfaces, the author will defend his
view that the current range of commercial data acquisition
hardware is inadequate for the task. A conceptual model for
a new 3D modelling data acquisition device will be presented
which overcomes the perceived shortcomings and which will,
in addition, perform other important data gathering functions
on the archaeological excavation.
Key words: laser-scanner, 3D, modelling, excavation
