Disclaimers

This virtual learning environment has been made as part of a thesis of a Master Programme in Archaeology at Lund University. The 3D models are a virtual representation of an Iron Age comb that is currently part of the Dynamic Collections Project.

The texture of the rivets is not the real texture but an interpretation. This is the same for the texture of the tine plates (not the comb teeth). These textures were made to create the best representation of the texture of the comb that were missing when digitally dividing the comb into its different parts.
