This document describes a web-based application called the Digital Epigraphic Archive (DEA) that facilitates the preservation, study, and dissemination of ancient inscriptions and archaeological artifacts. The DEA uses a low-cost method to digitize paper squeezes of inscriptions by scanning them twice with different light sources and then uses computer vision techniques to reconstruct the 3D surface and perform automated epigraphic analysis, including letter segmentation, grouping, and clustering. The DEA was tested on fragments from the archaeological site of Epidauros and was able to accurately reconstruct 3D surfaces and analyze letterforms.
