| Sumario: | This article reviews the methods and tools which are used in the new digital laboratory at the Israel Antiquities Authority. In collaboration with the Computerized Archaeology Laboratory at the Hebrew University, we apply techniques and ideas from computer graphics and mathematics, and integrated them into the methodologies of archaeological research and documentation. The laboratory operates optical scanners which provide accurate 3D digital models of archaeological artifacts, then publish, store, and analyze these models by computer programs developed in-house. The treatment protocol of finds and the capabilities of the digital lab are demonstrated using the example of one unique pottery fragment with an incised inscription.
