Hi Miguel, I've been using a Creaform GoSCAN50, and am very happy with it (I scan ceramics though; not hominins). There are two of these scanners (GoSCAN20 and GoSCAN50 - see http://www.creaform3d.com/en/metrology-solutions/handheld-portable-3d-scanner-goscan-3d); the 20 gets better detail on smaller objects, and the 50 is better for medium/large objects. Depending on the level of detail that you need (particularly for the teeth), it might be better to opt for the 20. I recently used a 20 to scan a projectile point (https://skfb.ly/ATNV), and it worked quite well.
A few examples from the GoSCAN50 here: Ceramic vessel from Salvador, Brazil (takes a moment for the texture file to load) - https://skfb.ly/AGtZ Caddo effigy pipe (frog) from Louisiana (US) - https://skfb.ly/JMvv Caddo ceramic bowl from Texas (US) - https://skfb.ly/JM6W Some of my colleagues have produced some good scans with the NextEngineHD (http://www.nextengine.com/); these from Bernard Means: Racoon Skull - https://skfb.ly/EoVw Owl Skull - https://skfb.ly/EoVP There are also some good examples of folks using photogrammetry (123D Catch, AgiSoft, etc.) for this kind of application; although I don't have those handy. Yet another option would be to see if there is anyone on campus (engineering departments usually have quite a few) that might be willing and able to help. While I was in grad school, we ran across a CT scanner in the petroleum engineering department that they needed to justify purchasing, so they let us run as many samples as we wanted to at no cost. The art department also had quite a few scanners. It all comes down to what you have experience with, and what you're most comfortable with; particularly since you will be spending quite a bit of time with this equipment. There are advantages and drawbacks to every surface scanner and photogrammetry program. If you have an opportunity to demo a scanner or photogrammetry program, I would take it (there may be a variety of product reps in your area). As things get published, we've been uploading our scan data to Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/collection/user-caddo_nagpra_3d); bound to be other examples there and elsewhere that you can explore.

Does anyone have any experience, suggestions and/or recommendations? For instance price, resolution, peformance, manipulation (portable) thanks in advance Miguel ---------------------------------------------------------------- Miguel Delgado PhD CONICET-División Antropología.
