Abstract: Lately, 3D laser scanning and Photogrammetry are becoming a standard in Cultural Heritage recording. In this contribution, a combination of both methods is presented for the precise 3D geometric documentation of a plaster copy of a Greek statue from the archeological site of Delos. The 3D model was generated for the structural assessment of the original statue and its supporting mechanism via finite element analysis (FEA).
