The AHRC-funded Arch-I-Scan Project (School of Archaeology and Ancient History, University of Leicester) is in the process of developing a state-of-the-art image-recognition and machine-learning service which can identify Roman pottery vessels and sherds. The service will ‘learn’ from photos of ceramics in collections around England, including those from MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology).
The project is inviting volunteers aged 18 and over to assist with its Roman pottery scanning programme at Museum of London Archaeology this autumn. Volunteers will be handling and photographing pottery sherds from the MOLA collection, utilising camera phones provided by Arch-I-Scan.
