AA-001 / THE COLLECTION
A statue recorded under the project title “Aphrodite Underwater”. Its reported underwater origin near Alexandria and Ptolemaic attribution still need an object-specific museum or excavation reference.
THE RECORD BEHIND THE OBJECT
Photographed through the glass of its case, and that session recorded no full camera-position data, so the alignment rests on the images alone. The draped surface still resolves cleanly.
21 raw images (photographed through its museum display case, gravity-only pose priors, no full ARKit pose data for this session) processed into a full 360° watertight mesh with Apple's PhotogrammetrySession (RealityKit) at raw detail (100k+ faces), cleaned up (self-intersecting faces fixed, holes closed) and texture-compressed to 4096px JPEG at high quality for the web. Replaces an earlier untextured, geometry-only version.
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.
An object-specific historical source is still needed. Corrections and readable label references are welcome.
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 Historical references do not certify scale, capture permission or academic review.
