Since 2019, the Griffith Institute has collaborated with the University of St Andrews through the St Andrews Research Internship Scheme (StARIS), a programme designed to give undergraduate students sustained, hands on experience of academic research. One outcome of this collaboration has been the creation of a new 3D digital model of Tutankhamun’s funerary mask, produced entirely from the original photographic negatives taken by the expedition photographer Harry Burton during the excavation of the tomb in the 1920s.
This project represents, to our knowledge, the first attempt to generate a three-dimensional model directly from Burton’s original negatives, transforming early twentieth century excavation photography into a form suitable for modern digital analysis, preservation and visualisation.
