Abstract

Stone slabs with circularly arranged cup-marks (kernoi) in the Bronze Age Aegean have been interpreted as grave marks, offering tables, astronomical instruments, and recently as gameboards. This paper, in the context of the Bronze Age Akrotiri settlement, at Santorini (Thera), proposes the use of digital imaging methods for the recording of these objects. Reflectance Transformation Imaging and Structure from Motion Photogrammetry is used for the optimal recording of these objects and is proposed as a standardised method for the recording, analysis and interpretation of similar objects accross the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean.
