Özet

Artifacts, the main material of clay, produced in terracotta and ceramic types and available in a wide variety of forms with their need-oriented production, are mostly unearthed from underground and underwater through scientific excavations. The majority of artifacts recovered through archeological excavations are generally broken and incomplete. Reintegration, as a part of conservation-restoration, ensures the structural stability of ceramic artifacts, allowing them to stand, while also preserving their visual integrity to reflect their original appearance. The conservator-restorer profession is bound by tradition and historically based on the knowledge and manual skills required to repair cultural heritage objects; however, over time, it has evolved into an interdisciplinary profession. Especially today, with the integration of 3D technologies into conservation science, the practice of reintegration is moving toward digital techniques. This study aimed to re-evaluate ceramic reintegration practices within the framework of traditional materials and methods and 3D technologies and to determine the applicability of advanced technology in ceramics using 3D technologies with experimental application. In this context, reintegration applications carried out using 3D digital technologies have been incorporated as a new approach to ceramic reintegration methods. Consequently, ceramic reintegration methods have been examined within the framework of a different classification introduced. Furthermore, the applicability of the method has been verified by reintegrating two ceramic vessels using 3D digital technologies.
