This project offers to develop and set up the material and software interfaces supporting the 3D survey and analysis integration to the coverage surveys of the archaeological remains and objects. The field of application will cover palaeolithic art and the associated lithic tools. It combines the expertise of the Archéovision 3D technological platform, the archaeologists of PACEA who are specialised in use-wear analysis and the ones of the National Prehistory Center regarding cave-painting and parietal art. The archeological application fields will be the engravings and/or petroglyphs from Val do Coa (Portugal), the Font de Gaume cave (Dordogne) and the Deux Ouvertures one (Ardèche).
