"Modern tech unlocks secret of ancient art": a paper by Mike Miller in UC News about the program of experimental archaeology led by Florence Gaignerot-Driessen in collaboration with DAAP.

Based on 3D-models of ancient molded terracottas recovered from a votive deposit at Anavlochos, Crete, copies in durable resin were printed at the Rapid Prototyping Center. These were used to create clay molds and replicas at the Ceramics lab in order to study their process of production and fragmentation.
