Software developed to precisely evaluate the 3-D micromorphological characteristics of archaeological surface incisions. Analysis based on a continuous 3-D slice sequence from a chosen range within the incision path. Measurements and shapes of individual slices can be extracted. ArchCUT3-D’s interface is designed to provide a computational and mathematical analysis of engravings to a wide audience.
