This paper describes an attempt to create digital 3D representations of excavated surfaces and profiles at two Middle Paleolithic sites in southwest France using a Breuckmann triTOS-HE structured light scanner. One major challenge we faced while applying this scanner in the field was to create a lighting environment that would allow us to obtain high quality 3D and color data about the archaeological surfaces. Another major challenge was to setup the scanner so that it would have good visual access as well as approximately the same distance to different sections of the surfaces and could be moved quickly. In total we performed more than two hundred scans during the fieldwork. We will discuss some of the post-processing issues that arose from our data acquisition methodology and from hardware and software limitations. Furthermore we will present workarounds for these limitations and suggest possible improvements for data collection with a triTOS-HE.
