A GENERAL INFORMATION



1. Title of the dataset: 3D Model of the Children’s Dungeon at Fort William (Ghana)

2. Brief description of the research project and its aims: 

The dataset contains a complete, colorized three-dimensional (3D) model of the so-called Children’s Dungeon, which likely served as a condemned cell at Fort William in Anomabu, Ghana. The 3D model is based on photogrammetric documentation.
