There is software in the pipeline which is supposed to piece shards back
together; I could dig up some (relatively dated: everything changes so fast
in computing these days) references, but you could also look at the
references in the CAA conference (a week or two ago in Williamsburg) to see
if they did something about it there

A couple of weeks ago I watched an episode of CSI NY. A memory stick
cover had been stomped and was in pieces. Each piece of it was scanned
and software manipulated it and put it back together.
Is this totally Hollywood or is this a potentially wonderful reality
for those of us who have excavated kilns for the edification of our
archaeological souls as a former mentor phrased it and have thousands
of potshards to mend?
