Tom Goskar – Archaeologist

Research-led 3D scanning, surface enhancement, audio restoration and AI for heritage

Recover hidden detail from objects, monuments, inscriptions and recordings

I work with archaeologists, museums, archives and heritage organisations to make difficult material clearer to study, interpret and share. That might mean high-resolution 3D scanning of a worn surface, enhancement of faint carvings, restoration of a hard-to-hear recording, or practical AI workflows that help collections and research material become more usable.

Research-led digital heritage work for projects where recording, analysis and interpretation need to work together.

St Endellion Long Cross (centre) flanked by surface-enhanced images showing its early medieval inscription more clearly. Commissioned by Cornwall Council Historic Environment Record.
Hendraburnick Quoit showing my work to reveal the prehistoric rock art, which led the team to recognise this as potentially the most decorated stone in southern Britain. Commissioned by the late Dr Andy M Jones.

Work that helps evidence become clearer

3D Scanning & Surface Enhancement

Reveal worn carvings, inscriptions, tool marks and subtle surface detail through high-resolution 3D capture and interpretative analysis.

Practical AI for Heritage

Use AI in practical, evidence-led ways for transcription, collections work, research support and internal knowledge.

Audio Restoration

Make historic recordings easier to hear, use and understand through careful restoration, enhancement and transcription support.

Have a project in mind?

If you are dealing with a difficult surface, a hard-to-hear recording, or heritage material that needs clearer interpretation, I’d be glad to hear about it.
