Recently, new technologies and, in particular, 3D modelling, have made their mark on the discipline of epigraphy. This development has taken place simultaneously in a number of different institutions, whose researchers have used a variety of different methods to acquire, process, analyse and communicate data. From this heterogeneous context, the present book takes up these initial advances while addressing the current challenges. Beginning with an overview of the work carried out since the adoption of these new technologies up to the present day, it highlights a variety of case studies, in an accessible way to uninitiated researchers. Through these situations, it offers solutions tailored to the variety of working conditions, support materials, type of engraving and level of erosion or damage to the inscription, as each contribution constitutes a methodological demonstration for one or more specific cases. In this way, this book also serves as a guide for colleagues wishing to open up to the use of these new tools.
