My name is Megan Kasten, I have a PhD in Archaeology from the University of Glasgow (2019). My research interests lie in digital imaging and its applications in research, particularly in the study of early medieval carved stones and sculpture. In my PhD, I created photogrammetric records of the Govan Stones as a case study to explore a range of research applications, especially in identifying worn decoration and applying Groove Analysis to understand the ‘Govan School of Carving’. As a Research Assistant for SPARC (SPatial Archaeometry Research Collaborations), I have developed open-source teaching materials that introduce students to work with 3D data and emphasise the potential underlying archived 3D datasets for archaeological research and outreach. I have acted as digital imaging consultant for the CALC-Rome and the Glen Lyon project. I have also provided support for a range of projects, including the RSE funded projects the im/material network and MERC Manifesto. Most recently I was the UK postdoctoral researcher on the OG(H)AM project. This website contains a portfolio of my work.
