There has been a revolution in\n3d modelling in recent years and it is now relatively easy to construct such\nmodels from ordinary digital photographs. Isolating the objects depicted in\nthese photographs, and masking out the background, is an important first step\nto achieving high quality results. The final 3d models will be made publicly\navailable and are useful not only for basic documentation purposes, but also\nfor graphical displays in museums, for inclusion in gaming and virtual reality\nenvironments, or for identifing different sub-styles in otherwise similar\ntypes of artefact (that might tell us about the date of the artefact, where it\nwas made, or by whom). The photos that you could be assigned here might come\nfrom any number of different projects, and for now are assigned completely at\nrandom, although we are looking into allowing regular contributors to choose\nwhich projects they prefer to work on.\n\nWe would like people to draw one or more polygons around the object that they\nsee in each photograph in order to identify the outline of the object and\nexclude the image background. This allows the 3d modelling process to\nconcentrate on the object itself and ignore irrelevant information.\n\n[A Bronze Age Palstave from Goudhurst, Kent](https://sketchfab.com/models/aa8a\n590f378c4ef381588c658ff761eb?utm_source=oembed&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=a\na8a590f378c4ef381588c658ff761eb) by [MicroPasts](https://sketchfab.com/micropa\nsts?utm_source=oembed&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=aa8a590f378c4ef381588c658f\nf761eb) on [Sketchfab](https://sketchfab.com?utm_source=oembed&utm_medium=embe\nd&utm_campaign=aa8a590f378c4ef381588c658ff761eb)\n\n### **Thank you!**\n\nLucy Ellis, exiledfrommaine, vtri, Valeria, stacytg, Enrico Crema, Suzanne\nbrown, Brenna Hassett, Michele Massa, Francois Grey, Nestor Santos, Hallvard\nIndgjerd, Chloe Roberts, Joe Roe, Hugh Fiske, Germaine V.

Photo-masking tutorial for 3D modelling

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple (but does\r\n not yet work on mobile devices). When you participate, the platform\r\n will load a photograph of an archaeological artefact.Once the image\r\n has been loaded, you will be asked to click around the edge of the artefact in order to define a\r\n polygon outline. Click once every time you wish to add a point along\r\n the edge of the polygon and your final point will snap back onto the\r\n one you started with. You can draw one polygon around the entire\r\n object or instead draw a series of overlapping\r\n polygons if you prefer. In general, we would like you to draw your polygon(s)\r\n very slightly inside the actual edge of the artefact. This is\r\n because we don't want background pixels near this edge to create a\r\n fuzzy border, and we don't need to worry so much about losing a bit\r\n of the artefact edge, as the missing few pixels are very likely to\r\n appear in one of the other photographs (at least 40 overlapping photographs are\r\n likely to exist for each object to support the construction of the\r\n 3d model). An example of a successful outline is shown below:\r\n

\r\n \"An\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n

\r\n In a few cases, there might be one or more holes\r\n in the object shown in the photograph (e.g. inside the loop\r\n of a handle), and you can\r\n click on the \"Holes\" button to be given an opportunity\r\n to draw these in, as a second step, after you have created the initial outline\r\n around the object. During the task, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button. \r\n

BM Bronze Age Index Drawer B16 transcription tutorial

\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgment in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalog\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\n card. Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\n

\n\n \"An\n\n

\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\n

\n\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\n

\n
    \n
  1. The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\n This is often but not always written in pencil. The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \n \"Top
    2. \n
  2. When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.
    3. \n
  3. If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\n you are fairly confident but not certain.
    4. \n
  4. If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\". For example, on the\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter\n \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".
    5. \n
  5. Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).
    6. \n
  6. If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.
    7. \n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n \t

\n \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\n \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\n \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\n \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalog, we will look to modify the\n \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\n \t

BM Bronze Age Index Drawer B16 transcription tutorial

\r\n
\r\n\t\r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgment in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\r\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalog\r\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\r\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\r\n card. Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\r\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\r\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\r\n

\r\n\r\n \"An\r\n\r\n

\r\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\r\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\r\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\r\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\r\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\r\n

\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t

\r\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\r\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\r\n

\r\n\r\n\t\t
    \r\n\t\t\r\n
  1. \r\n The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\r\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\r\n This is often but not always written in pencil. The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \r\n \"Top\r\n
    2. \r\n \r\n
  2. \r\n When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.\r\n
    3. \r\n \r\n
  3. \r\n If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\r\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\r\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\r\n you are fairly confident but not certain.\r\n
    4. \r\n\r\n
  4. \r\n If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\r\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\". For example, on the\r\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\r\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".\r\n
    5. \r\n\r\n
  5. \r\n Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\r\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\r\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\r\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).\r\n
    6. \r\n\r\n
  6. \r\n If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified\r\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\r\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.\r\n
    7. \r\n \r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t

\r\n\t \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\r\n\t \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\r\n\t \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\r\n\t \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalog, we will look to modify the\r\n\t \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\r\n\t \t

These cards contain some fairly standardised kinds of information:\nabout where the artefact was discovered, its dimensions, a longer description\nof what it looks like, etc.\n\nWhat the research team would like people to do, is to transcribe the details\nfrom each section on the card into some pre-determined fields, and also to\nattempt to geo-reference the object via its place of discovery.\n\n### **Thank you!**\n\nLucy Ellis, exiledfrommaine, vtri, Nicky Moxey, Pamela Holland, Hugh Fiske,\nThorrin Jonsson, Michael, Susanne Jaillet, Belinda Elizabeth Singe, mumkin,\nJohnathan Farris, Jared Obermeyer, Kimberly Donne Snyder, Katie Evans, Jerry\nGlover, Kate Dougherty, Cheryl Ellsworth, Randall Carruthers, Camila Paglione,\nCaroline, Caroline Chestnutt, Peter Helliwell, Walter Butler, Adam Patnoe,\nAlejandro Crespo, Maria T\u00f6rm\u00e4, Matthew, Elaine Dale, Katy Emslie, Jeff\nOkazaki, Melissa Vette Wobig, Amy McDermott, Nicholas Yarbrough, Tracey Logan,\nLaura B, Jennifer Speer, Sarah Roberts, Karin Vermooten, Eric Crawford, Erin\nChapman, Bob Nebrig, Andrew Garrison, Ross Blau, Carrie Benjamin, Matthew\nBeckett, Matthew Bendert, David Levinson, Jessica Byler, Juan Ysidro Tineo\nAlvarado, Bianca Cabrera, Latifa Walker, Valeska Becker, Rebecca Gunnill,\nJoellen mcGann, Holden, Craig Horton, Sara Gibson, Dina Fathalla,\nscruffyarcher, Maria van Duinhoven, Glenda Robinson, Julia Pope, Margaret\nEllen Joy, Susan Nash, Nina Sharman, Jane Fellows, Luis Kohl, John Marr,\nLouise Amor, Helena Fox, Sonsoles Garc\u00eda Gonz\u00e1lez, Shane Grant, Denis Antoine,\nAnn Silvester, John Strangfeld, Mary Mansfield Blackman, Romilly Collins,\nJames Babbage, Heather Bidzinski, Jodie Bee, Gill Pettitt, Sarah, Raest Wylde,\nJohn Boothby, Avellana Teresa Ross, Charles T.

BM Bronze Age Index Draw A9 transcription tutorial

\n
\n \n
\n \n

\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgment in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalog\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\n card. Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the \n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side. \n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\n

\n \n \"An\n \n

\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information \n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also \n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found \n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box \n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\n

\n \n
\n\n
\n \n

\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button. \n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\n

\n
    \n
  1. The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code \n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter. \n This is often but not always written in pencil. The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \n \"Top
    2. \n
  2. When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.
    3. \n
  3. If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\", \n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where \n you are fairly confident but not certain.
    4. \n
  4. If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go \n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\". For example, on the \n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are \n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter \n \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".
    5. \n
  5. Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box \n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place \n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).
    6. \n
  6. If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified \n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our \n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.
    7. \n
\n\n
\n \n
\n \t\n \t

\n \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and \n \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best \n \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that \n \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalog, we will look to modify the \n \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\n \t

The Arreton Hoard transcription application

\n
\n\t\n\t\t
\n\n

\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgement in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalogue\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\n card. Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\n

\n\n \"An\n\n

\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\n

\n\n
\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t

\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\n

\n\n\t\t
    \n\t\t\n
  1. \n The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\n This is often but not always written in pencil. The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \n \"Top\n
    2. \n \n
  2. \n When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.\n
    3. \n \n
  3. \n If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\n you are fairly confident but not certain.\n
    4. \n\n
  4. \n If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\". For example, on the\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".\n
    5. \n\n
  5. \n Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).\n
    6. \n\n
  6. \n If there is additional information on the card that you don't feel fits in one of our pre-specified\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.\n
    7. \n \n
\n\n\n\t\t
\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\n\t \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\n\t \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\n\t \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalogue, we will look to modify the\n\t \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\n\t \t

Isolating the objects\ndepicted in these photographs, and masking out the background, is an important\nfirst step to achieving high quality results. The final 3d models will be made\npublicly available and are useful not only for basic documentation purposes,\nbut also for graphical displays in museums, for inclusion in gaming and\nvirtual reality environments, or for identifing different sub-styles in\notherwise similar types of artefact (that might tell us about the date of the\nartefact, where it was made, or by whom).\n\nThis particular photo-masking application is a bit of a 'pop-up shop' because\nwe only mean for it to deal with one Bronze Age British hoard that the British\nMuseum wants to model now rather than later (a hoard is an archaeological term\nfor a group of valuable objects that have been buried in the ground together,\noften seemingly with the intention of later being recovered by its owners).\nThis particular hoard was found on Arreton Down on the Isle of Wight sometime\nbefore 1735. It constitutes a major group of Early Bronze Age spearheads and\naxes (as well as at least one dagger) that was probably placed in the ground\naround 1700-1500 BC.\n\nWe would like people to draw one or more polygons around the artefact that\nthey see in each photograph in order to identify its outline and exclude the\nimage background. This allows the 3d modelling process to concentrate on the\nobject itself and ignore irrelevant background information.\n\n### **Thank you!**\n\nLucy Ellis, Hugh Fiske, Caroline Chestnutt, Alejandro Crespo, Sean Austin,\nJeff Okazaki, Mona Petre, Joseph Koivisto, Leland Sorenson, Latifa Walker,\nJoellen mcGann, Craig Horton, Quentin Mazars-Simon, Ad\u00e9la Vedralov\u00e1, Xavier\nFont Erruz, Dina Fathalla, Glenda Robinson, David Johannes Lange, Vicky Rees,\nNina Sharman, Jane Fellows, Sonsoles Garc\u00eda Gonz\u00e1lez, Denis Antoine, Foteini\nDrakou, Tim Matteson, Paul Simeonidis, Doina Bucur, Hanne Madsen, Sarah,\nRichard Easteal, Raest Wylde, Marina Piperi, Avellana Teresa Ross, Eleni\nPapaioannou, Maruta Purvina, Maragkaki Froso, Johannes, Veron, Maria\nChristakou, Wilhelmina Bunn, Bret Pearson, Danielle Haigh-Wood and other\nanonymous contributors for completing this application.\n\nIf you are interested in what a 3d completed model looks like, please have a\nlook at the example [here](http://micropasts.org/3D).\n\n### This project is on behalf of\n\n![The Portable Antiquities Scheme logo](/static/img/pasrgbsize4.jpg) ![The\nBritish Museum logo](/static/img/bmBlackWhite.png)\n\n", "featured": false, "owner_id": 12, "category_id": 9, "info": {"sched": "default", "tutorial": "

Photo-masking tutorial for 3D modelling

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple (but unfortantely cannot as yet be done \r\n on mobile devices). When you participate, the platform\r\n will load a photograph of a Bronze Age metal artefact from the Arreton Down Hoard (Isle of Wight). Once the image\r\n has been loaded, you will be asked to click around the edge of the artefact in order to define a\r\n polygon outline. Click once every time you wish to add a point along\r\n the edge of the polygon and your final point will snap back onto the\r\n one you started with. You can draw one polygon around the entire\r\n object or instead draw a series of overlapping\r\n polygons if you prefer. In general, we would like you to draw your polygon(s)\r\n very slightly inside the actual edge of the artefact. This is\r\n because we don't want background pixels near this edge to create a\r\n fuzzy border, and we don't need to worry so much about losing a bit\r\n of the artefact edge, as the missing few pixels are very likely to\r\n appear in one of the other photographs (at least 40 overlapping photographs are\r\n likely to exist for each object to support the construction of the\r\n 3d model). The only situation where we would like you to be a bit more careful \r\n is when you are going around the border of what looks like a very thin edge (e.g) \r\n such as the blade of a weapon). In such cases, rather than losing any of \r\n the artefact edge, please be as precise as possible. An example of \r\n a successful outline is shown below:\r\n

\r\n \"An\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n

\r\n In a few cases, there might be one or more holes\r\n in the object shown in the photograph (e.g. inside the loop\r\n of a handle), and you can\r\n click on the \"Holes\" button to be given an opportunity\r\n to draw these in, as a second step, after you have created the initial outline\r\n around the object. During the task, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button. \r\n

\n Photo-tagging Tutorial\n

\n
\n
\n

\n The application is really simple. It loads a photo from our Flickr feed and asks you to tag all the elements that you recognise. These can be anything from a column to a camel, an activity taking place such as agriculture or transport, a certain cultural group of people such as Bedouin or European - or even specific individuals, and/or more general themes such as simply architecture.\n

\n

\n You then hover the mouse over the elements that you identify, and then by clicking and dragging you will draw a box. A text box will appear, in which you will be able to type the name of that element and save it.\n

\n

\n If you recognise a specific person in the photo, this is great! Please tag their names in this way: Last name, first name; for example: Horsfield, George.\n

\n

\n \"An\n

\n

\n You can do this as many times as you want. If you wish to edit a tag or delete it altogether, you can do this by hovering over the relevant box, and then selecting either the pencil tool for editing, or the 'x' for deleting.\n

\n \n
\n
\n

\n As you can see, you have four buttons representing four categories of suggested keywords: Activity, Things, Theme and People. Clicking on each one of these will bring up a list of suggested keywords to be used in tagging. You can refer to these lists when tagging each photo, but you can also add your own tags. Both annotating elements on the photograph and selecting keywords from these lists are very helpful.\n

\n

\n Additional information incldues the photo's ID (starts with P2008, and appears in almost all photos), the photo's orientation (landscape, portrait, or other if it's a square), as well as comments, if you have anything else you want to mention. If the photo has a caption, please try to transcribe it as accurately as possibly into the transcribe label box.\n

\n

\n We would also like your help to give the photograph coordinates and a Pleiades Identifier. If you go to the geo-code section on the right hand side and type a place name (refer to mapping hints for help) you can select the place depicted in the photo. Once you have done this, try choosing a Pleiades Identifier from the drop down list below.\n

\r\n Why use Pleiades tags\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n Pleiades is a community-built gazetteer and graph of ancient places. By adding these identifiers, we can assist their efforts as documented in this blog post by Sean Gillies. These data can then be fed \r\n into the Pelagios Project's RDF ecosystem and for linking these images to similar ones that have been tagged in the same way by other collections.\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n The mapping component of this exercise has three different layers. We are very fortunate to be able to use the fantastic Imperium map layer, produced by Johan \u00c5hfeldt for the \r\n Pelagios project. This has ancient place names from the Barrington Atlas of the Classical World displayed and is useful for many reasons. If you find this hard to use change to either satellite layer, the OpenStreetMap layer (labels in Arabic) or the map view. \r\n

\r\n To use the geo-coder, type a place name, then as it auto-completes, use your mouse or arrow keys to choose the place (double-click). When it has selected the site, a balloon appears on the map. The image below demonstrates what you should see.\r\n

\r\n \"Geocoder\r\n

 

\r\n

\r\n Mapping some of these sites can be hard. Use these tip examples to get the right place:\r\n

\r\n
    \r\n
  • \r\n For Homs - search for Homs, Syria, on the Imperium map layer, the place was known as Emesa in Antiquity.\r\n
    • \r\n
  • \r\n For Shiloh - search for Shilo. \r\n
    • \r\n
  • \r\n For Beth-Shan - search for Beit She'an\r\n
    • \r\n
  • \r\n For Kasr Bshir - search for Qasr Bashir\r\n

\r\n Photo-tagging Tutorial\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n The application is really simple. It loads a photo from our Flickr feed and asks you to tag all the elements that you recognise. These can be anything from a column to a camel, an activity taking place such as agriculture or transport, a certain cultural group of people such as Bedouin or European - or even specific individuals, and/or more general themes such as simply architecture.\r\n

\r\n

\r\n You then hover the mouse over the elements that you identify, and then by clicking and dragging you will draw a box. A text box will appear, in which you will be able to type the name of that element and save it.\r\n

\r\n

\r\n If you recognise a specific person in the photo, this is great! Please tag their names in this way: Last name, first name; for example: Horsfield, George.\r\n

\r\n

\r\n \"An\r\n

\r\n

\r\n You can do this as many times as you want. If you wish to edit a tag or delete it altogether, you can do this by hovering over the relevant box, and then selecting either the pencil tool for editing, or the 'x' for deleting.\r\n

\r\n \r\n
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n As you can see, you have four buttons representing four categories of suggested keywords: Activity, Things, Theme and People. Clicking on each one of these will bring up a list of suggested keywords to be used in tagging. You can refer to these lists when tagging each photo, but you can also add your own tags. Both annotating elements on the photograph and selecting keywords from these lists are very helpful.\r\n

\r\n

\r\n Additional information incldues the photo's ID (starts with P2008, and appears in almost all photos), the photo's orientation (landscape, portrait, or other if it's a square), as well as comments, if you have anything else you want to mention. If the photo has a caption, please try to transcribe it as accurately as possibly into the transcribe label box.\r\n

\r\n

\r\n We would also like your help to give the photograph coordinates and a Pleiades Identifier. If you go to the geo-code section on the right hand side and type a place name (refer to mapping hints for help) you can select the place depicted in the photo. Once you have done this, try choosing a Pleiades Identifier from the drop down list below.\r\n

There has been a\nrevolution in 3D modelling in recent years and it is now relatively easy to\nconstruct such models from ordinary digital photographs. Isolating the object\ndepicted in these photographs, and masking out the background, is an important\nfirst step to achieving high quality results. The final 3D model will be made\npublicly available and is useful not only for basic documentation purposes,\nbut also for graphical displays in museums, for inclusion in gaming and\nvirtual reality environments, or for identifing different sub-styles in\notherwise similar types of artefact (that might tell us about the date of the\nartefact, where it was made, or by whom).\n\nThis particular photo-masking application is dedicated to one object hosted by\nUCL Petrie Museum - an Egyptian funerary figure, also known as a shabti. This\nsmall mould-made pale green faience shabti is inscribed with the name of the\nowner, Djed-khonsu-iwf-ankh. The standing figure is mummy-like in shape and\nwears a wig with a filet tied in the back. Shabtis like this one were made to\ncarry out any tasks, particularly agricultural chores, that the deceased might\nbe asked to do in the afterlife. For this reason, he carries a hoe in each\nhand and has a basket slung over his shoulder. The figure was probably found\nat Abydos and dates to the 22nd Dynasty (946/45 - about 735 BC). This is one\nof a group of 13 similar shabtis in the museum belonging to this individual\nalthough other examples from this group are also in other museums.\n\nWe would like people to draw a polygon around the shabti that they see in each\nphotograph in order to identify its outline and exclude the image background.\nThis allows the 3D modelling process to concentrate on the object itself and\nignore irrelevant background information.\n\nIf you are interested in what a 3D completed model looks like, please have a\nlook at the example [here](http://micropasts.org/3D) for a MicroPasts palstave\nmodel, or [here](http://www.ucl.ac.uk/3dpetriemuseum/3dobjects/UC29999A) for a\nsimilar shabti model.\n\n### Thank you!\n\nJeff Okazaki, Leland Sorenson, Latifa Walker, Joellen mcGann, Mart\u00ed Blesa,\nHelena Jaeschke, Nicky van de Beek, Valeria Vitale, Dina and other anonymous\ncontributors.\n\n### This project is on behalf of\n\n![UCL Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology](http://adi.micropasts.org/wp-\ncontent/uploads/sites/3/2014/06/Petrie-Logo.jpeg)\n\n", "featured": false, "owner_id": 12, "category_id": 9, "info": {"tutorial": "

Photo-masking tutorial for 3D modelling

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple (but it does not yet work on mobile devices). When you participate, the platform will load a photograph of an archaeological artefact. Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to click or tap around the edge of the artefact in order to define a polygon outline. Click once every time you wish to add a point along the edge of the polygon and your final point will snap back onto the one you started with. You can draw one polygon around the entire object or instead draw a series of overlapping polygons if you prefer. In general, we would like you to draw your polygon(s) very slightly inside the actual edge of the artefact. This is because we don't want background pixels near this edge to create a fuzzy border, and we don't need to worry so much about losing a bit of the artefact edge, as the missing few pixels are very likely to appear in one of the other photographs (at least 40 overlapping photographs are likely to exist for each object to support the construction of the 3D model). An example of a successful outline is shown below:\r\n

BM Bronze Age Index (River Thames) transcription tutorial

\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgment in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalog\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\n card. Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\n

\n\n \"An\n\n

\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\n

\n\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\n

\n
    \n
  1. The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\n This is often but not always written in pencil. The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \n \"Top
    2. \n
  2. When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.
    3. \n
  3. If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\n you are fairly confident but not certain.
    4. \n
  4. If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\". For example, on the\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter\n \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".
    5. \n
  5. Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).
    6. \n
  6. If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.
    7. \n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n \t

\n \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\n \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\n \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\n \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalog, we will look to modify the\n \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\n \t

BM Bronze Age Index (River Thames) transcription tutorial

\r\n
\r\n\t\r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgment in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\r\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalog\r\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\r\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\r\n card (if a card does not load, you can still click the \"View on Flickr\" button to see the contents). Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\r\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\r\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\r\n

\r\n\r\n \"An\r\n\r\n

\r\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\r\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\r\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\r\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\r\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\r\n

\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t

\r\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\r\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\r\n

\r\n\r\n\t\t
    \r\n\t\t\r\n
  1. \r\n The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\r\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\r\n This is often but not always written in pencil (and by the way, when the last letter is a G it often looks like a 9). The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \r\n \"Top\r\n
    2. \r\n \r\n
  2. \r\n When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.\r\n
    3. \r\n \r\n
  3. \r\n If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\r\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\r\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\r\n you are fairly confident but not certain.\r\n
    4. \r\n\r\n
  4. \r\n If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\r\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\" (without any paragraph return/hitting the enter key). For example, on the\r\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\r\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".\r\n
    5. \r\n\r\n
  5. \r\n Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\r\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\r\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\r\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).\r\n
    6. \r\n\r\n
  6. \r\n If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified\r\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\r\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.\r\n

\r\n\t\t\t

\r\n\t \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\r\n\t \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\r\n\t \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\r\n\t \tparticular card.

These cards\r\ncontain some fairly standardised kinds of information: about where the\r\nartefact was discovered, its dimensions, a longer description of what it looks\r\nlike, etc.\r\n\r\nWhat the research team would like people to do, is to transcribe the details\r\nfrom each section on the card into some pre-determined fields, and also to\r\nattempt to geo-reference the object via its place of discovery.\r\n\r\n### **Thank you!\r\n\r\n**\r\n\r\nHugh Fiske, Cheryl Ellsworth, Jeff Okazaki, Terry Jackson-Baker, Dina,\r\nscruffyarcher, Margaret Ellen Joy, Tim Mudie and other anonymous contributors.\r\n\r\n> Opening the treasures of the Bronze Age to the widest public is why I get\r\nup, I would love your help: \r\n\r\n>\r\n\r\n> -- Neil Wilkin (@NWilkinBM) [ April 16,\r\n2014](https://twitter.com/NWilkinBM/statuses/456421634237140992)\r\n\r\n### This project is on behalf of\r\n\r\n![The Portable Antiquities Scheme logo](/static/img/pasrgbsize4.jpg) ![The\r\nBritish Museum logo](/static/img/bmBlackWhite.png)\r\n\r\n### Find the code on Github\r\n\r\n![](https://crowdfunded.micropasts.org/assets/learn/github-ee049d767e762a0c6626051203a31f6e.png)\r\n\r\n", "featured": false, "owner_id": 12, "category_id": 9, "info": {"tutorial": "\n

BM Bronze Age Index arrowheads transcription tutorial

\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgement in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalogue\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\n card. Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\n

\n\n \"An\n\n

\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\n

\n\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\n

\n
    \n
  1. The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\n This is often but not always written in pencil. The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \n \"Top
    2. \n
  2. When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.
    3. \n
  3. If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\n you are fairly confident but not certain.
    4. \n
  4. If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\". For example, on the\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter\n \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".
    5. \n
  5. Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).
    6. \n
  6. If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.
    7. \n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n \t

\n \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\n \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\n \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\n \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalog, we will look to modify the\n \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\n \t

BM Bronze Age Index Flanged Chisels from drawer A1 transcription tutorial

\r\n
\r\n\t\r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgement in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\r\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalogue\r\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\r\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\r\n card (if a card does not load, you can still click the \"View on Flickr\" button to see the contents). Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\r\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\r\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\r\n

\r\n\r\n \"An\r\n\r\n

\r\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\r\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\r\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\r\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\r\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\r\n

\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t

\r\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\r\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\r\n

\r\n\r\n\t\t
    \r\n\t\t\r\n
  1. \r\n The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\r\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\r\n This is often but not always written in pencil (and by the way, when the last letter is a G it often looks like a 9). The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \r\n \"Top\r\n
    2. \r\n \r\n
  2. \r\n When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.\r\n
    3. \r\n \r\n
  3. \r\n If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\r\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\r\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\r\n you are fairly confident but not certain.\r\n
    4. \r\n\r\n
  4. \r\n If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\r\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\" (without any paragraph return/hitting the enter key). For example, on the\r\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\r\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".\r\n
    5. \r\n\r\n
  5. \r\n Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\r\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\r\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\r\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).\r\n
    6. \r\n\r\n
  6. \r\n If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified\r\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\r\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.\r\n
    7. \r\n \r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t

\r\n\t \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\r\n\t \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\r\n\t \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\r\n\t \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalog, we will look to modify the\r\n\t \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\r\n\t \t

This information has\r\nlong been known to be an extremely important untapped resource.

Slide Fastener A16 Drawer transcription tutorial

\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgement in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalogue\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\n card. Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\n

\n\n \"An\n\n

\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\n

\n\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\n

\n
    \n
  1. The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\n This is often but not always written in pencil. The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \n \"Top
    2. \n
  2. When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.
    3. \n
  3. If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\n you are fairly confident but not certain.
    4. \n
  4. If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\". For example, on the\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter\n \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".
    5. \n
  5. Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).

  3. If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\n you are fairly confident but not certain.

  4. If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\".

  5. Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).

BM Bronze Age Index DrawerA16 transcription tutorial

\r\n
\r\n\t\r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgement in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\r\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalogue\r\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\r\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\r\n card (if a card does not load, you can still click the \"View on Flickr\" button to see the contents). Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\r\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\r\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\r\n

\r\n\r\n \"An\r\n\r\n

\r\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\r\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\r\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\r\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\r\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\r\n

\r\n\r\n

\r\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\r\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\r\n

\r\n\r\n\t\t
    \r\n\t\t\r\n
  1. \r\n The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\r\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\r\n This is often but not always written in pencil (and by the way, when the last letter is a G it often looks like a 9). The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \r\n \"Top\r\n

There has been a\r\nrevolution in 3D modelling in recent years and it is now relatively easy to\r\nconstruct such models from ordinary digital photographs. Isolating the object\r\ndepicted in these photographs, and masking out the background, is an important\r\nfirst step to achieving high quality results. The final 3D model will be made\r\npublicly available and is useful not only for basic documentation purposes,\r\nbut also for graphical displays in museums, for inclusion in gaming and\r\nvirtual reality environments, or for identifing different sub-styles in\r\notherwise similar types of artefact (that might tell us about the date of the\r\nartefact, where it was made, or by whom).\r\n\r\nThis particular photo-masking application is dedicated to two handaxes housed\r\ntemporarily at UCL Institute of Archaeology. These handaxes correspond to the\r\nAcheulean period (i.e. the age of the handaxe, which spans between 1.7 and 0.2\r\nmyr) at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. One is made of lava and the other of\r\nquartzite, and were discovered by the Olduvai Geochronology Archaeology\r\nProject (OGAP) from eroding outcrops in Olduvai Bed II, where the Acheulean\r\nage began around 1.5 myr ago.\r\n\r\nWe would like people to draw a polygon around the handaxe that they see in\r\neach photograph in order to identify its outline and exclude the image\r\nbackground. This allows the 3D modelling process to concentrate on the object\r\nitself and ignore irrelevant background information.\r\n\r\nIf you are interested in what a 3D completed model looks like, please have a\r\nlook at the example [here](http://micropasts.org/3D) for a MicroPasts palstave\r\nmodel.\r\n\r\n### **Thank you!\r\n\r\n** Hugh Fiske, Jeff Okazaki, Dina Fathalla, Nina Sharman, Jane Fellows, Heidi Lund, Tim Matteson, Maragkaki Froso, Maria Christakou, Christopher Wai and other anonymous contributors for completing this application. \r\n\r\n### This project is on behalf of:\r\n\r\n![Olduvai Geochronology Archaeology Project](http://micropasts.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/OGAP_logo_sm.jpg) ![The UCL Institute of\r\nArchaeology](http://micropasts.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/UCL_logo_sm_blk.png)\r\n\r\n### Find the code on GitHub\r\n\r\n![](https://crowdfunded.micropasts.org/assets/learn/github-ee049d767e762a0c6626051203a31f6e.png)\r\n\r\n", "featured": false, "owner_id": 12, "category_id": 9, "info": {"sched": "default", "tutorial": "

Photo-masking tutorial for 3D modelling

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple (but it does not yet work on mobile devices). When you participate, the platform will load a photograph of an archaeological artefact. Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to click or tap around the edge of the artefact in order to define a polygon outline. Click once every time you wish to add a point along the edge of the polygon and your final point will snap back onto the one you started with. You can draw one polygon around the entire object or instead draw a series of overlapping polygons if you prefer. In general, we would like you to draw your polygon(s) very slightly inside the actual edge of the artefact. This is because we don't want background pixels near this edge to create a fuzzy border, and we don't need to worry so much about losing a bit of the artefact edge, as the missing few pixels are very likely to appear in one of the other photographs (at least 40 overlapping photographs are likely to exist for each object to support the construction of the 3D model). An example of a successful outline is shown below:\r\n

Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\n

\n\n \"An\n\n

\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\n

\n\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\n

\n
    \n
  1. The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\n This is often but not always written in pencil. The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \n \"Top
    2. \n
  2. When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.
    3. \n
  3. If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\n you are fairly confident but not certain.
    4. \n
  4. If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\". For example, on the\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter\n \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".
    5. \n
  5. Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).
    6. \n
  6. If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.
    7. \n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n \t

\n \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\n \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\n \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\n \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalog, we will look to modify the\n \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\n \t

Isolating the object\r\ndepicted in these photographs, and masking out the background, is an important\r\nfirst step to achieving high quality results. The final 3D model will be made\r\npublicly available and is useful not only for basic documentation purposes,\r\nbut also for graphical displays in museums, for inclusion in gaming and\r\nvirtual reality environments, or for identifing different sub-styles in\r\notherwise similar types of artefact (that might tell us about the date of the\r\nartefact, where it was made, or by whom).\r\n\r\nThis particular photo-masking application is dedicated to a hoard found in\r\nLower Hardres, Canterbury.

This particular\r\nhoard includes five Bronze Age palstaves.\r\n\r\nWe would like people to draw a polygon around the palstave that they see in\r\neach photograph in order to identify its outline and exclude the image\r\nbackground. This allows the 3D modelling process to concentrate on the object\r\nitself and ignore irrelevant background information.\r\n\r\nIf you are interested in what a 3D completed model looks like, please have a\r\nlook at the example [here](http://micropasts.org/3D) for a MicroPasts palstave\r\nmodel.\r\n\r\n### **Thank you!**\r\n\r\nHugh Fiske, Jeff Okazaki, Melissa Vette Wobig, Joseph Koivisto, Dina Fathalla,\r\nNina Sharman, Jane Fellows, Swantje Dogunke, Denis Antoine, Heidi Lund, Tim\r\nMatteson, Raest Wylde, Eleni Papaioannou, Maragkaki Froso, Maria Christakou,\r\nChristopher Wai, Susan Magyarody, Danielle Haigh-Wood, Erik Paul Zuber, Kiyoko\r\nNishi, Van C.

Photo-masking tutorial for 3D modelling

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple (but it does not yet work on mobile devices). When you participate, the platform will load a photograph of an archaeological artefact. Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to click or tap around the edge of the artefact in order to define a polygon outline. Click once every time you wish to add a point along the edge of the polygon and your final point will snap back onto the one you started with. You can draw one polygon around the entire object or instead draw a series of overlapping polygons if you prefer. In general, we would like you to draw your polygon(s) very slightly inside the actual edge of the artefact. This is because we don't want background pixels near this edge to create a fuzzy border, and we don't need to worry so much about losing a bit of the artefact edge, as the missing few pixels are very likely to appear in one of the other photographs (at least 40 overlapping photographs are likely to exist for each object to support the construction of the 3D model). An example of a successful outline is shown below:\r\n

This information has\r\nlong been known to be an extremely important untapped resource. Metal finds\r\nare not only crucial forms of evidence for dating Britain's prehistoric past,\r\nbut also tell us a great deal about prehistoric society and economy.\r\nDigitising the thousands of objects in this catalogue will make these records\r\npublicly available via their incorporation into the [Portable Antiquities\r\nScheme website](http://finds.org.uk).

BM Bronze Age Index Drawer Socketed Spear Heads A2 transcription tutorial

\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgement in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalogue\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\n card. Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\n

\n\n \"An\n\n

\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\n

\n\n
\n\n
\n\n

\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\n

\n
    \n
  1. The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\n This is often but not always written in pencil. The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \n \"Top
    2. \n
  2. When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.
    3. \n
  3. If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\n you are fairly confident but not certain.
    4. \n
  4. If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\". For example, on the\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter\n \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".
    5. \n
  5. Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).
    6. \n
  6. If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.
    7. \n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n \t

\n \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\n \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\n \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\n \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalog, we will look to modify the\n \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\n \t

This information has\r\nlong been known to be an extremely important untapped resource. Metal finds\r\nare not only crucial forms of evidence for dating Britain's prehistoric past,\r\nbut also tell us a great deal about prehistoric society and economy.\r\nDigitising the thousands of objects in this catalogue will make these records\r\npublicly available via their incorporation into the [Portable Antiquities\r\nScheme website](http://finds.org.uk).

BM Bronze Age Index Drawer A8 - Tools and Knives transcription tutorial

\r\n
\r\n\t\r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n

\r\n This application is very simple, but does require you to use your own judgement in reading hand-written documents. When you participate,\r\n the platform will load a scanned index card from the British Museum's Bronze Age catalogue\r\n (stored on the MicroPasts Flickr stream).\r\n Once the image has been loaded, you will be asked to transcribe the contents of each\r\n card (if a card does not load, you can still click the \"View on Flickr\" button to see the contents). Most scanned images combine the written details from the one side of the\r\n index card and the line drawing of the object from the reverse side.\r\n An example of the front side of a card is shown below.\r\n

\r\n\r\n \"An\r\n\r\n

\r\n Each index card contains similar information and we are asking you to enter this information\r\n into a set of pre-defined fields. In addition to the help provided by this tutorial, you will also\r\n find further hints inside the data entry boxes about where on the card the relevant information might be found\r\n (e.g. in the example card above, the necessary entry for the \"Object Type\" filed would be \"Palstave\" and the data entry box\r\n will hint that this information can be found \"Top of card\").\r\n

\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t

\r\n During the transcription, you can always return to this tutorial via the \"Help\" button.\r\n Here are some further issues to watch out for:\r\n

\r\n\r\n\t\t
    \r\n\t\t\r\n
  1. \r\n The \"top right corner\" field is not present on all cards, but if it exists, it is normally a typological code\r\n including a Latin numeral, following by an ordinary (Arabic) number, and finally a capital letter.\r\n This is often but not always written in pencil (and by the way, when the last letter is a G it often looks like a 9). The example below would be rendered \"II1A\":
    \r\n \"Top\r\n
    2. \r\n \r\n
  2. \r\n When entering information in the fields, please respect the case of words as seen on the card.\r\n
    3. \r\n \r\n
  3. \r\n If there is a word or a portion of a word that you cannot read, please use the \"[...]\" notation. For example,\r\n using the example index card shown before, if you could not read the reference top left to \"Sea-shore near Cooden Bay\",\r\n you might render it as \"Sea-shore near [...] Bay\", although we suggest you do fill in the whole word in cases where\r\n you are fairly confident but not certain.\r\n
    4. \r\n\r\n
  4. \r\n If you see text that is stacked on more than one line or separated by a gap, but that otherwise should go\r\n into just one of our pre-specified boxes, then separate it by \"[;]\" (without any paragraph return/hitting the enter key). For example, on the\r\n index card we showed you before, \"Mr Vidler\" and \"Pevensey\" are\r\n both entries that should be entered in the the Collection box, so you could simply enter \"Mr Vidler[;]Pevensey\".\r\n
    5. \r\n\r\n
  5. \r\n Measurements should be entered in millimetres or grammes, as the hints suggest, and only the number should be entered in the box\r\n (e.g. a length of 174mm should be entered as 174). If the units are not in mm or grammes, please convert them to whole number grammes and mm, and place\r\n the converted values in the correct box. In such cases, please also make a note of the original in the Transcriber's Comments\r\n (e.g. a length written as \"4.2 in\" should be note verbatim in the Transcriber's Comments, but recorded as 107 in the Length box).\r\n
    6. \r\n\r\n
  6. \r\n If there is additional information on the card that you do not feel fits in one of our pre-specified\r\n boxes, or if you have any further worries about how to transcribe the card, then please put these concerns in our\r\n \"Transcriber's Comments\" box at the bottom of the transcription page.\r\n
    7. \r\n \r\n

\r\n\t\t\t

\r\n\t \tSometimes you might notice that there is some variability in the style of the index cards and\r\n\t \toccasionally you might get a card that looks quite different, such as the one below. In such cases, please try your best\r\n\t \tto fill in the requisite fields and note in the Transcriber's Comments field that you found this difficult for that\r\n\t \tparticular card. As we continue drawer-by-drawer through the catalog, we will look to modify the\r\n\t \tinput fields in response to your suggestions.\r\n\t \t
