National Geographic Innovation Fellow Corey Jaskolski provided support for 3D photogrammetry shot in the field by Jill Heinerth. This early test demonstrates the potential for being able to image artifacts in situ, underwater without disturbance. This technique will be used for documenting human remains on future expeditions.
