Updating Rock Art.
This may be one of the best known examples where an early Bronze Age ship was altered in the Late Bronze Age. Clearly visible on the rubbing, the nightphoto and the printscreen from the 3D model.
More on updating Rock Art can be found in our series Documentation and Registration of Rock Art, Volume 4.

Tanums Hällristningsmuseum Underslös is one of the only institutions that implemented the 3D documentation through Structure from Motion, and the benefits have been many. Not only does it create a 3D model of the carving, but it also gives us the possibility to show the entire carved surface without distortion. Moreover it allows us to see the discoloration and (micro)vegetation on the surface.
Underslös Museum is basically the only institution that uses both the analogue rubbing technique as well as the digital Structure from Motion method to display the entire surface, if possible supplemented with laserscanning of specific details.

When Fredsjö did the documentation of this panel at Torsbo, he registered three boats and a row of cupmarks with a footsole at the end. Ever since then the panel has been shown as Fredsjö interpreted it.
However, when the documentation was done by us through rubbing, we discovered that the footsole is actually a part of a weathered boat and under the stonewall some more figures were found, among which a bull, equal to the bulls on another panel nearby.
Documented in week 18 by Tanums Hällristningsmuseum Underslös and scheduled for publication later on this year in our series Documentation and Registration of Rock Art.
