Marcus Abbott Email & Phone Number

Marcus Abbott BA.MIfAI am a professional archaeologist who’s work is principally focused on innovativeheritage projects that utilise the latest technologies for survey and visualisation. I provide full onsite three-dimensional digital data collection utilising survey grade GPS systems, total stations and the latest in laser scanning technology. Off site I compile and organise this digital data to produce survey drawings, reconstructions, high-resolution models and fully navigable 3-D recreations. I am an expert in digital drafting and 3-D modelling techniques applicable to a wide range of projects and visualisations, especially those for museum installations, touch-screen displays and web based presentations. My experience incorporates a diverse range of projects varying in historical period and nature, both upstanding monuments and subterranean archaeology. I understand the survey and visualisation needs of focused, commercial archaeological projects, and provide strategies and services that both fit the requirements and budget of a project while enhancing the overall objectives.In addition to experience in data collection and processing, I have managed both survey and visualisation teams for a wide range of projects for over 10 years. Much of this time was spent working for the University of Cambridge and the University of Sheffield where in addition to commercial services I provided support and guidance to academic staff interested in a digital component to their research. I have lectured on aspects of my work to postgraduate students, Humanities Research Institutes and presented digital heritage projects at international conferences. As director of survey and illustration on many international expeditions for the University of Cambridge, I have worked in several different countries and challenging climates ranging from the deserts of Africa, to the mountains of Nepal, and the Arctic regions of Russia and Iceland.
