Cultural heritage and information systems, an investigation into a dedicated hypertext

2003

This paper describes an experiment concerning a ‘historical heritage-conscious’ data recording system. The experiment was part of a wider research, which was conducted into the archaeological site of Piazza Armerina, Sicily, and comprised the surveying, recording and classification of various kinds of information. Notably, the main aims of the research into the data recording system were: a) devising an information system capable of easily recording and organising survey data such as text, drawings, images and animations, for the use of researchers and technicians; b) promoting a multidisciplinary dialogue among different disciplines, thus obtaining some integration among different kinds of…

GIS applications in archaeology

2011

The diffusion of the use of Geographical Information Systems in archaeology has considerably increased in recent years. This multiplicity of applications is due mainly to the growing interest of archaeologists in modern methodologies for the management of archaeological data, surveyed by topographic, photogrammetric and remote sensing techniques. GIS have become a fundamental tool for managing, sharing, analyzing and visualizing spatially referenced data and they are completely substituting the traditional techniques used by archaeologists, based upon filling out forms, graphics and other paper documents. Besides in the modern global society, dominated by mass media such as Internet, the is…

Hyperspectral techniques and GIS for archaeological investigation

2004

Aerial photos, both in colour and in black and white, have always been very important tools in archaeological surveys. Sensors, called hyperspectral, were available on the market for some years: they are able to expand the research beyond the visible area of the electromagnetic spectrum as far as the thermal infrared too. The use of these sensors, at first restricted to the applications in the traditional fields of Remote Sensing (such as, for instance, Botany, Agronomy, Geology, Hydrology), was spreading, in recent years, to some sectors, such as archaeological surveys, which were unexplored before. The presence of structures and hollows in the top subsurface is likely to cause variations …

Termini Imerese: rilettura topografica per un’ipotesi restitutiva dell’impianto urbano

2018

I risultati che si presentano in questa sede sono frutto di una rivisitazione dello stato dell’arte, facilitata dall’informatizzazione dei dati topografici, dall’implementazione di una piattaforma GIS e dalla reperibilità di supporti cartografici a dettagli sempre maggiori. La rilettura topografica dell’edito si è posta come obiettivo la ricostruzione virtuale della potenziale maglia urbana dell’antica Thermae, quello che viene definito in genere il piano programmatico, in attesa che nuovi rinvenimenti contribuiscano a ridefinire le dimensioni del modulo di base e soprattutto quelle reali degli isolati abitativi. Il confronto con fondazioni coeve e culturalmente affini (Solunto, in primo lu…

Sperimentazione di smart device equipaggiati con GPS per guide multimediali di siti archeologici

2009

In last years several methodologies have been developed for guided tours of cultural heritage supported by handheld computers (PocketPC). The instruments used for this purpose are pocketPC, possibly equipped with a GPS receiver, which offer contents related to the place where the visitor is at that moment. This paper concerns the design of an innovative multimedia guide running on handheld computers to support the visit of archaeological sites. To that end the performances of various mobile phones and pocketPCs, equipped with low-cost GPS, have been tested; an application software developed by the Palermo research Unit has been installed into these devices to locate in real time the positio…

La crisi vista da un archeologo. Alcune considerazioni sulla situazione attuale dei beni culturali

2015

Il contributo esamina la situazione dell'archeologia siciliana negli anni della crisi, non solo dal punto di vista dell'assenza di adeguati finanziamenti, quanto dal punto di vista della politica di tutela e valorizzazione dei beni culturali e dell'investimento nella formazione. Il punto di svolta in negativo è individuato nella legge 40 del 2000 che abolì i ruoli tecnici nell'amministrazione dei beni culturali. Perché dai beni culturali si abbia un ritorno economico è necessario investire in maniera sinergica sul beni culturali stessi, sulle infrastrutture e sulla promozione del turismo.

Archéologie préventive. Une ressource pour la recherche et la mise en valeur?

2014

This paper discusses the results in applying Italy's law in preventive archaeology five years after the publication of the executive rules. It examines strenghts and weaknisses of the law, the latter identified in the scant attention paid to ancient topography and landscape archaeology. The role of university departments, the responsabilities of the Superintendences, the role of cooperatives of young archaeologists, the problems arising from the heavy costs in publishing the reserach results are examined. It is also proposed that the archaeological exavations and the programs of musealization be financed by a national fund fed by a percentage of the costs of all projects of public interest.

Millennial-scale phase relationships between ice-core and Mediterranean marine records: insights from high-precision 40Ar/39Ar dating of the Green Tu…

2013

International audience; With the advent of annually-resolved polar ice records extending back to 70 ka, marine and continental paleoclimate studies have now matured into a discipline where high-quality age control is essential for putting on an equal pace layer-counted timescale models and Late Quaternary sedimentary records. High-resolution U-Th dating of speleothem records and 40Ar/39Ar dating of globally recorded geomagnetic excursions have recently improved the time calibration of Quaternary archives, reflecting the cross-disciplinary effort made to synchronize the geologic record at the millennial scale. Yet, tie-points with such an absolute age control remain scarce for paleoclimatic …
