Analysis of the composition and carving depth of the Luna-Valpalmas stela through structured light 3D scanning
Abstract
The engraved motifs on the so-called warrior or southwestern stelae have been mainly approached from an iconographical perspective, paying attention only in the past few years to the technical process and sequence. In this line of research, a study of the Luna-Valpalmas stela is approached here by means of structured light 3D scanning technology and focus on the carving depth. The data obtained are read to determine a sequence of engraving of the motifs on the slab -diachronic or synchronic- and the intended position of the stela –vertical or horizontal–.
