AA-003 / THE COLLECTION
A statue of Aphrodite with a dolphin, identified by the label visible in the project photograph. It is a different object from the record called Aphrodite Underwater; its precise date still needs a verified catalogue reference.
THE RECORD BEHIND THE OBJECT
A different statue from Aphrodite Underwater despite the shared name. The two records have separate capture dates; no relative timing is inferred.
38 raw images processed into a full 360° watertight mesh with Apple's PhotogrammetrySession (RealityKit) at raw detail (223k faces, the highest fidelity level, more than double a prior full-detail pass), cleaned up (self-intersecting and non-manifold faces fixed, holes closed) and texture-compressed to 4096px JPEG at high quality for the web.
IDENTIFICATION & EVIDENCE
Historical identification and dating remain provisional until an object-specific reference is linked. Capture and processing information comes from the project record, not from a historical source.
The visible label names Aphrodite. This photograph does not establish the inherited Ptolemaic dating or a precise accession identity.
AA numbers identify ArchaeoArchive records; they are not museum accession numbers. Capture dates describe photography, not the age of the object. Historical references do not certify scale, capture permission or academic review.
