Abstract
Bosnia and Herzegovina is very rich with cultural heritage sites. Perhaps the most famous of these are the stecaks; the monumental gravestones of Bosnian Heretic Christians. The orientation of the stecaks was important to the ancient Bosnians, Unfortunately, their orientation towards the sun has been changed when they were moved from their original locations to more secure sites at museums. This is particularly true of the stecak from Donje Zgosce, one of the most beautiful stecaks in B&H. Using high-fidelity graphics techniques we have created a detailed virtual reconstruction of this stecak and produced a sun simulation in Maya This enables archaeologists to be able to investigate the interaction of the light with the stecak s carvings as it may have appeared in 14th century.
