Vesuvius Challenge: First letters found in new scroll
PHerc. 172 (Scroll 5) is here.
We imaged the scroll earlier this year with our collaborators at Diamond Light Source, a synchrotron facility conveniently located nearby. Using the raw texture images as well as early ink prediction results, they are even able to produce preliminary transcriptions in which we are very close to recovering complete words! Thank you to everyone who has helped make this happen, in particular to Richard, Martin, Tobias, Peter, Nicole, Daniel, Seth, Christy, Brent, Leigh, Robert, Elizabeth, Ben, David, Julian, Giorgio, Youssef, Luke, Francesco, Federica, Alessia, Claudio, Kilian, Marzia, Michael, Rossella, our generous donors, and our incredible community.
