Digital have recently carried out a 3D laser survey for the Bamburgh Research group. The BRP is a non-profit independent archaeological research project investigating Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, one of the most important archaeological sites currently under excavation in northern England. The BRP was set up in 1996 to investigate the history of this fascinating castle and its environs from prehistory to the present day, and it aims to bring that past to life for everyone.

Over the years the Archaeologist have been working on a number of trenches.

By utilising our 3D laser scanner we were able to document trench 3 in high quality for future reference. Over the coming months we hope to also digitally capture trench 1 and the main castle keep. The 3D laser scanner creates a snap shot in time of the site and has become another essential tool available to archaeologists. We plan to return and digitally document the site in future which allows us to develop a 3D model showing the excavation changes over time.
