Summary/Abstract: The article examines the advantages of photogrammetry in the work with incised epigraphic monuments. It looks at the traditional methods of epigraphic survey and contour extraction. The contemporary digital technologies used in the recording and examination of inscribed and/or engraved surfaces are briefly presented. The work offers a general comparison between photogrammetry, laser scanning and structured light scanning in relation to the study, recording and digital conservation of relief epigraphic monuments. Some superior aspects of photogrammetry over the classical and innovative methods are presented as well as the advantages and disadvantages of all examined technologies in relation to the subject. Hybrid and experimental technologies with a potential to the field of study are mentioned. Some of the priorities are related to the capabilities of creating 3D elevation model and its precision as well as its connection to the digital rectification of inscriptions and graffiti. This relates to paleography and its connections with the epigraphic study and also provide options for digital presentation of epigraphy. The article concludes with a summary of the work and offers a potential for a comparison study of some of the technologies.
