A project similar to the Stanford Forma Urbis Romae Project is the The Xiangtangshan Caves Project. Both are examples of using digital photography and 3D imaging technology for studying archaeological artifacts that simply can't be studied as easily or as effectively without such technology. The Xiangtangshan Caves project involves finding artifacts in museums and and private collections that have been taken out of the caves and scanning those items in order to reconstruct what the caves looked like in their original context. The institution primarily spearheading this project is the University of Chicago, although it's a highly collaborative project with many people and institutions involved.
The site for the project is currently pretty sparse, since it seems to be in its beginnings, but there is some great information there and some wonderful images. Also, from a design perspective, I really love the appearance of their site--very clean, simple, and elegant. I'd be excited to see how they display their finished project.
