Extracted Abstract:

— This paper reports the main activities planned within the context of the ArchaeoTrack research project. The project aims at creating a new ground-penetrating radar (GPR)-based methodology producing information for use of communities and local administrations within a preventive archaeology perspective. To this aim, the project provides i) identification of the most suitable GPR system for archaeological prospections, ii) development of a virtual “buried” museum and iii) data storage and visualisation in a freeware dissemination digital platform. An overview of GPR applications in archaeology is reported, followed by a description of the main structure of the project and the expected results. Keywords— ArchaeoTrack project, preventive archaeology, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), virtual “buried” museum I.

Level 1: Include/Exclude

  • Papers must discuss situated information visualization* (by Willet et al.) in the application domain of CH.
    *A situated data representation is a data representation whose physical presentation is located close to the data’s physical referent(s).
    *A situated visualization is a situated data representation for which the presentation is purely visual – and is typically displayed on a screen.
  • Representation must include abstract data (e.g., metadata).
  • Papers focused solely on digital reconstruction without information visualization aspects are excluded.
  • Posters and workshop papers are excluded to focus on mature research contributions.
