Center of Information Technology of Humanities and Social Sciences of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University (UKSW) in Warsaw digitized 63 bones of the Man from Janisławice.

The Man from Janisławice is the oldest human skeleton found in Poland. It was discovered in 1937 in Janisławice in the Lodz region and it counts, according to the latest data, over 6,500 years. The work was carried out by UKSW and company 3D Master.

As the Warsaw University reports, photogrammetry and 3D scanning with structural light were used in the works. The first stage consisted in creating complete 3D models of bones allowing not only to visualize them, but also to perform basic measurements and tests. As part of further work, it is planned to print 3D bones and process them further to create realistic copies. It is a joint project of the State Archaeological Museum, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw and 3D Master company.
