The Amarna:3D project has been featured in a number of magazines and documentaries dating as far back as 2003. This page showcases the official publications. There are a few still pending where the permissions have been granted for use but I am awaiting publication information in order to record it accurately here. There have been a number of unofficial uses of the work but if I have been credited ( P.Docherty, www.amarna3d.com ) and it is for non-profit then there is no problem. However I would appreciate being contacted so I can add a link to this site if appropriate. If anyone would like to use my work for publication or commission a variation / special edition of the work presented on this site please get in touch through the contact forms located throughout the website. The project is very big with many more models still being developed and not showcased as yet so please do get in touch if you have any queries.
