Title & Content

Title:
3D Heritage. Digital Humanities for Documentation, Analysis, and Dissemination of Material Culture
Content:
In the last decade, 3D analysis and processing techniques have undergone significant theoretical and technical advancements. The quality and quantity of data obtained through various 3D techniques have marked a substantial leap forward, and Archaeology is no longer a mere bystander. As a result, their application has become increasingly common, where various techniques are employed to document, analyze and disseminate cultural heritage in three-dimensional ways.
In this regard, the huge variety of 3D methodologies and techniques allow to apply them in a wide range of work, from macro to microscale. These go from satellite imaging and remote sensing through airborne photogrammetry on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) platforms or airborne LiDAR, among others, to close range phtogrammetry for small objects. All these techniques have gained significant relevance in the field. The adoption of these innovative methodologies has brought about a methodological revolution, with profound theoretical implications on how we study material culture and how to research im Humanities in the Digital Era.
This session aims to be a space for presentation and debate of the state-of-the-art 3D methodologies for documentation, analysis and dissemination of the landscape. The primary objective is to engage in discussions about methodologies, application challenges, new theoretical perspectives, and the future directions. Thus, papers on methodological and theoretical issues on 3D applications for the study of the Landscape will be welcomed, including case studies of methodological relevance.
The outcome of this session will be an up-to-date overview of a field constantly undergoing significant methodological updates within Archaeology and Digital Humanities, thereby fostering discussions of considerable value for the exploration of current applied methodologies and the advancement of theoretical debates.
