Furthermore, a 3D replica can be a valid substitute of lost museum artifacts. This paper presents the case study of the physical replica of the so called Kazafani boat. The 13th century artifact is made of pottery and it is permanently exhibited at the Cyprus Museum. It was found within a tomb at the Kazafani village (Cyprus) in 1963. Recently it was chosen to be part of a travelling exhibition to the Smithsonian Museum (USA), but due to its fragility could not be moved. For this reason a campaign of 3D data acquisition was planned to create an accurate digital replica of the artwork with the aim of making a physical replica to substitute the real object. Size, shape, colours, surface markings, even evidence of past damage and previous episodes of restoration, were all recorded. An exact physical replica of the boat was created with a powder 3D printer. A further implication of this approach enabled conservators to interact and analyze the replicated boat in detail preventing any damage to the original.

A laser scanner and an innovative device for the aerial photogrammetry have been used for this purpose. Despite the size of the archaeological site and the complexity of the survey; it has been possible in a short time to acquire the whole theatre using photogrammetric and laser scanning techniques. The final result is the complete 3D model of the theatre at present, which was used for 3D stereoscopic vision simulation.
