Students participated in a series of masterclasses delivered by Oxford-based and international scholars across archaeology, anthropology, literature, music, and art. John Barrett (ARCHiOx) and Imran Khan (Factum Foundation) taught students about 3D recording techniques, demonstrating them on four objects: a kava bowl and cup, an ornament made of whale tooth and a stone lamp. These scans and their 3D models will form part of a wider initiative to increase remote access to the Museum’s collections for students and communities in Hawaiʻi.
The initiative was developed through an ongoing collaboration connected to the Life in the Ahupua‘a touch table project and was led by Dr Marenka Thompson-Odlum, Research Curator – Critical Perspectives at the Pitt Rivers Museum.
