Created by Emily Patwell and Amanda Brockman Pictures by Amanda Brockman and Emily Patwell Model by Emily Patwell 66 pictures, 68,585 points This is a 3D model of the Hickisch headstone at Oak Grove Cemetery in La Crosse, WI, created with precision. The convex inscription boldly reads "HICKISCH" on its surface, yet it lacks specific first names, leaving room for discovery. A collaborative effort by Emily Patwell and Amanda Brockman resulted in this digital creation, showcasing the artistic side of archaeology. With 66 photographs used to capture every detail, the model boasts an impressive 68,585 points, a testament to meticulous attention to detail. Developed as part of ARC 445 Research Methods in Archaeology, this project showcases the power of technology in preserving history. Although multiple attempts were made to perfect the top's design, Emily Patwell is not deterred by minor imperfections, attributing them to her first-time experience with modeling.
