Title:
Routed Archaeology – Archaeological Routes and Their Impact on Perception of Archaeological Heritage in the Landscape
Content:
Archaeology is and always was involved in the landscapes by research and monument protection. At the same time it is also shaping the landscape by interpreting and presenting the often hidden archaeological heritage and making it usable for tourism. Archaeological routes, paths, information boards and monument interpretation tools have been for a long time part of our participating in the modern use of the landscapes and its heritage. In the recent years the new technologies are getting more and more involved in the visualisation and interpretation of archaeological heritage. Digital guides, augmented reality, digital visualisations of monuments are becoming major tools for reaching new younger audiences. How are this analogue and digital interpretation tools compatible? What do users look for in the digital world of archaeology? Do we still need information boards on archaeological trails?
In our session we are looking for contributions presenting newly established trails, routes or interpretations of archaeological monuments for the visitors in the landscapes, open air facilities and museums. A special focus should be on new fresh approaches and the combination of digital and analogue interpretation tools. Also experiences with complex and large transnational cultural routes are very welcome to the session.
