Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum Austria

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum Austria is the Austrian sub-project of the international Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum (CVA).

The project and its history

Austria joined the international CVA project in 1935. When Austria was annexed to Germany in 1938, which lasted until 1945, Austria's first CVA volume, the volume Vienna 1 with vases from the University of Vienna and from the Franz von Matsch 's collection, was published in 1942 as a partial volume Germany 6 . Austria has been an independent part of the international CVA project again since 1949.

In 1951 the CVA Austria became a commission for an independent project at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), a request put forward by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in 1952 for Austria to remain with the German CVA was refused. The speed of publication was initially quite slow. At the beginning and at the end of the 1950s a volume was published, each written by Fritz Eichler on the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where he was employed. In 1974 he added a third volume, and the fourth volume appeared ten years later. After no volume was published in the 1960s, it took a long time for another publication after the 1984 volume. In 1994 the commission became part of the Archeology Research Center , which was converted into the Institute for Ancient Cultural History in 2000. A CVA working group was founded in 2005 to promote national and international exchange. Every year the working group holds a meeting to which guests are invited. The first result was the agreement on binding publication guidelines. In 2011, after 27 years, an Austrian CVA volume finally appeared again, and in 2014 a volume on the university collection in Graz was the first time a volume not on the Kunsthistorisches Museum. With three volumes, the 2010s were more productive than a decade before.

Scientific and digital methods

Since the fifth volume, modern scientific investigations have been carried out with the recordings usual for the CVA project, which currently distinguishes the Austrian project from all other national CVA projects and can therefore also be assigned to the area of archaeoinformatics .

Optical 3D scanners based on the principle of structured light are used to capture the vessels as a high-resolution 3D model. The 3D measurement is carried out in cooperation with the Pattern Recognition and Image Processing (PRIP group, today CVLab or Computer Vision Club ) of the Vienna University of Technology and the Forensic Computational Geometry Laboratory (FCGL) of the University of Heidelberg . Profile cuts and unrolling of the vessels are created with the GigaMesh software framework and finalized with Inkscape . On the occasion of the exhibition in the Louvre for the 100th anniversary of the international CVA project, the unrolling of an aryballos from the KFU Graz was exhibited in its own showcase to represent the new methods of the digital age. The visualizations could be seen in the second half of 2019.

To determine the color pigments, multispectral measurements were carried out at prominent points. This technique is used in particular with white-ground vases , as the colors that were applied after the firing are mostly gone. With the help of X-ray fluorescence analysis, experiments are carried out to determine the pigments of the painting. The use of industrial computed tomography enables additional insights into the materiality of the ceramics.

Some of the optically 3D-measured vessels can be called up in the ÖAW's online database for research into the development of vessel shapes and dimensions (ODEEG). However, the 3D models are only available in greatly reduced resolution under the very restrictive CC-BY-NC-SA license and can therefore hardly be used for other projects.

Booklets

Supplements to the Corpus Vasorum Austria have been published since 2013, in which the scientific results as well as the pilot studies from the field of vase research are summarized and published by subject.
