Abstract
The uploaded archive contains photogrammetric 3D models (produced using Meshroom and MeshLab) of archaeological artefacts from the Kyafar site. This site represents the medieval Alan capital, located in the North Caucasus within modern-day Karachay-Cherkessia.The materials supplement papers published and intended by the author, which present and interpret these artefacts.This data publication serves three primary purposes:1.
