This book provides the opportunity to explore the variety of meanings, undertones and contextual connotations that currently pertain to the expressions of "virtual (or digital) restoration" and "reconstruction". The book focuses on the latest applications of virtual restoration and reconstruction in different areas of Cultural Heritage through the presentation and discussion of several case studies. The goal is to provide a broad perspective on the subject. The sample presented in this book has been indeed selected and evaluated referring to different disciplinary fields such as archaeology, architecture, and conservation while encompassing a variety of cultural and chronological contexts.
Archaeological 3D GIS provides archaeologists with a guide to explore and understand the unprecedented opportunities for collecting, visualising, and analysing archaeological datasets in three dimensions. With platforms allowing archaeologists to link, query, and analyse in a virtual, georeferenced space information collected by different specialists, the book highlights how it is possible to re-think aspects of theory and practice which relate to GIS. It explores which questions can be addressed in such a new environment and how they are going to impact the way we interpret the past. By using material from several international case studies such as Pompeii, Çatalhöyük, as well as prehist...

I contributi di questo secondo volume del numero 28 della Rivista si soffermano su più temi. Gli effetti dei cambiamenti climatici sul patrimonio costruito (Isabella Zamboni), che richiedono competenze e prospettive multidisciplinari. Il cantiere di un castello del Trecento, studiato “sulla base di un libro per la costruzione”, del quale è stata ritrovata la prima parte (Alessandro Monti). I cantieri di una chiesa, a cinque secoli di distanza uno dall’altro, entrambi alle prese con i danni sismici, reali o fittizi e dunque con divergenti interessi (Gian Pietro Brogiolo e Barbara Scala). Quattro saggi documentano stratigrafie e tecniche murarie tra l’età romana (Annalisa Garattoni per il villaggio di Nago in Trentino; Mirella Serlorenzi e Maura Fadda per lo scavo di un edificio nel tratto iniziale della via Appia, che ha rivelato una sequenza costruttiva compresa fra II e VII secolo d.C.) e il medioevo (Marco Biraghi, per il Castello Baradello di Como; Daniele Ferdani con numerosi collaboratori per la Seconda Torre di San Marino).
Il volume contiene una sezione monografica dedicata a “La datazione delle malte in architettura” che raccoglie dieci contributi di singoli studiosi o gruppi, italiani e stranieri, che da tempo si occupano del tema. Senza pretendere di fornire un panorama esaustivo delle ricerche a livello internazionale, la curatrice della sezione ha invitato alcuni studiosi a scrivere saggi di tipo metodologico sui metodi di datazione archeologica e archeometrica delle malte che, al momento, sembrano fornire i migliori esiti sul campo. La richiesta per tutti è stata quella di fornire i principi di base del metodo, di mettere in luce i limiti di applicazione, le problematiche e i margini di migliorament...
This book provides a breadth of innovative and impactful research in the field of telecommunications led by women investigators. Topics covered include satellite communications, cognitive radars, remote sensing sensor networks, quantum Internet, and cyberspace. These topics touch on many of the challenges facing the world today and these solutions by women researchers are valuable for their technical excellence and their non-traditional perspective. As an important part of the Women in Engineering and Science book series, the work highlights the contribution of women leaders in telecommunications, inspiring women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure our future in.
This volume brings together all the successful peer-reviewed papers submitted for the proceedings of the 43rd conference on Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology that took place in Siena (Italy) from March 31st to April 2nd 2015.
Changing Heritage presents the most comprehensive analysis of heritage issues available today. Critically analysing the complexity of the current and forthcoming issues faced by heritage, it presents insightful directions for the future. Drawing on the author’s many years of experience working in senior positions at UNESCO, the book presents discussions of heritage sites all around the world. Today, our cultural and natural legacies face significant threats due to social and economic developments, political pressures, and unresolved historical issues. This book delves into these threats from two distinct perspectives: internal tensions and external pressures. The internal tensions include ...
