From the bas-relief to the 3D model : a reconstruction hypothesis for an 8th century BC civil fortification

<p>The paper examines three 8th century BC  artifacts  uncovered  in an area which historically belonged to Armenia . According to previous studies,  the findings are representations of the external elevations of a fortified civil building probably erected at the foot of the biblical Mount Ara...
