TECNOLOGIE E METODOLOGIE PER L’ACQUISIZIONE, LA GESTIONE E LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEI DATI DI SCAVO NEI PROGETTI ARCHEOLOGICI DELL’UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DELL’AQUILA

In archaeological projects, the acquisition, management, and implementation of excavation data are crucial to the success of the research and the accurate understanding of the historical and cultural context of the sites investigated. Field data acquisition, especially, is the first step in any archaeological research project. This paper will describe the main technologies and methodologies for three-dimensional surveys of archaeological sites and digitization of data acquired in research projects led by the Department of Human Sciences at the University of L’Aquila. The same vector data are used as well in 3D modeling and virtual reality projects in order to make the results of archaeological research understandable even to a non-expert audience.
