DN2A is born

Posted on 27 June 202429 June 2024 by admin

Dear all networkers in digital nautical archaeology! Our group now has changed its name from FRAUG to DN²A. FRAUG has over many years been an important network for archaeologists working with digital recording of ship timbers, and reconstruction of archaeological vessels. As the FARO-arm now has got competition from other more versatile and user-friendly tools, it is time to change the group name.

Hopefully there will soon be an event where we can meet and discuss our common challenges and methods! Maybe already by Autumn 2023? We will keep you posted.
