Series	TEMPA-3D: TEMPA-3D: TEMPA-3D is a transdisciplinary project focused on the Mesolithic portable art of Europe. It aims to create a new research subfield by merging two non-invasive and non-destructive techniques — digital photogrammetry and experimental archaeology. While the experimental study will give new data on the details of rock art production, 3D modeling of the experimental specimens allows comparison with the prehistoric engraved stones. This fuse of methodologies reveals how the art was made down to a hand movement. The project is focused on two case studies — the fragile collection of Mesolithic objects from Norway and the endangered portable rock art collection from Kamyana Mohyla, Ukraine. It aims to digitally preserve and study these unique datasets and apply new methods to show their significance and uniqueness worldwide. Moreover, as the two case studies represent similar economic and societal formations, the project benefits from comparing them to reveal features and similarities of the Late Mesolithic in Northern and South-Eastern Europe.
