RETOLD: 3D Megaliths at Stone Age Park Dithmarschen (DE)
As member of the Megalithic Routes association (www.megalithicroutes.eu) and as partner of the RETOLD Project the Stone Age Park Dithmarschen (AÖZA) combines the recent research results about the megaliths, mostly from the University of Kiel (Germany), and the modern digital presentation techniques as 3D-modelling in a new exhibition. Here they give information about the building processes of megaliths, about their forms, about their meaning and use in Prehistoric times and presenting famous examples of this monuments in Northern Germany, but also Europe wide. The exhibition consists of posters, the reconstruction of a megalith in original size (with styrofoam), of original archaeological findings from megalithic tombs and of 3D-models of different megalithic tombs.
The data for the 3D-models have been collected by the University of Kiel, Institute of Pre- and Protohistory and were handed over to the Albersdorf museum, where we could use the data for the printing of the models and for displaying them on the homepage. Some of the 3D-models have been printed with the support of the RETOLD-project and are now on display in the museum.
