Produktbeschreibung

The CAA-GR 2024 Conference Proceedings capture the spirit and substance of the fifth national meeting on computer applications in archaeology and cultural heritage, held in Serres, Greece. Organized by the Athena Research Center and the International Hellenic University, the conference brought together a vibrant community of researchers, professionals, and practitioners exploring how digital technologies are reshaping our relationship and interaction with the past.

Under the theme Transforming Heritage Research in a Transforming World, the volume reflects the urgent need for new approaches to the study and preservation of cultural heritage in the face of rapid technological advances, environmental challenges, and societal shifts. The chapters span a wide range of topics from geophysical methods and risk management to 3D scanning, immersive visualization, digital tourism, and museum accessibility highlighting the interdisciplinary and forward-thinking spirit that defines the field today.

Rich with innovative ideas, practical solutions, and theoretical reflections, this volume offers a compelling look at how computational tools are redefining the boundaries of archaeology and heritage studies. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the digital transformation of the cultural sector and the future of heritage research.
