Abstract :Şanlıurfa is an important archaeological and cultural region where people have left permanent artifacts dating back to 12 thousand years. For this reason, it is very important to record and document the artifacts in this region where cultural heritage is very intense. With the developing technology, it has become easier to document historical artifacts and to transfer them to future generations. In this direction, historical artifacts can be recorded easily and accurately with the photogrammetry technique, which is one of the important tools offered by developing technology. With this method, a detailed model of the historical artifact can be created and recorded in the digital environment. In this study, a point cloud and a 3D model of a carving stone, located in the region known as Şuayip City, located 80 km south of Şanlıurfa, was produced by photogrammetry, and the details of the carving stone were revealed. At the result of the study, the carving on the stone was revealed by using various filtering techniques.
