This project is primarily concerned with the development, testing and evaluation of new, digital forms of mediation, demonstration and visualization of archaeological and culture-historical information and results. The work aims at providing museums and institutions working within the domain of Cultural Heritage Management a means by which to meet public interest in archaeological results and fascination with historical problems.
The project is funded by the Swedish National Heritage Board and is organized as a joint venture between the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History at Gothenburg University, the Department of Architecture at Chalmers University of Technology and the Department of Soil Sciences at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The work is greatly facilitated by the opportunity to work in close co-operation with EON Reality, a leading company in the sphere of interactive visual content management software development.
The overall organization of the project involves three interrelated modules, which are designed to develop in relatively independent ways:
- The first module covers topics related to the ways in which Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Management have come to integrate digital and computer based procedures and standards into their operational sphere.
- The second module aims to develop new methods and practices for the presentation, mediation and the publication of archaeological data and information. This work is particularly focused on the participation of museums and institutions from the general sector, as well as the public at large.
- The third module involves the more specific elaboration of digital tools for the management, preparation and application of digital methods for communicating archaeological information and theories.
As the project develops we will post new information and features to this website, so please check back soon for more details.
