Title:
Making Connections: Towards Archaeological Narratives in Contemporary Society
Content:
In today's digital age, people have unprecedented access to online content at home and work, transforming the field of archaeology. Advanced digital technologies are now used for recording, analysing, and sharing archaeological and historical content. Sharing archaeological datasets with open licences enhances their value, benefiting society in various ways. This content has a wide range of applications including monitoring the effects of climate and other environmental and human impacts, supporting the creation of narratives which inform education and tourism initiatives, empowering creative industries and creating a sense of ownership and involvement among people in the management of their heritage.
CARARE’s mission is to advance professional practice and foster appreciation of the digital archaeological and architectural heritage by creating opportunities for practitioners, researchers and the creative industries to connect with each other, exchange experiences and knowledge, and open access to their datasets via Europeana and research infrastructures. Together with other researchers across Europe, CARARE is participating in the 5Dculture Project which focuses on European 3D digital cultural heritage assets and fostering their re-use. The session aims to unite individuals passionate about creating archaeological narratives in contemporary society by exploring how archaeological datasets can be used for work, research, learning, creating narratives and enjoyment.
Talks can address but are not limited to the following topics:
- Real case examples of reuse of archaeological data in society
- Best practices, standards and strategies for making datasets available for re-use
- Barriers and opportunities for reuse of digital archaeological data
- Methods and approaches to reuse in 3D, XR and AR applications
- Connecting with the education, tourism, creative industry and other sectors
- Working with communities
