This article aims to reconstruct the sensory space in which craft activities took place in the Quartier Mu at Malia, an urban district dating to the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC in Crete. The study focuses on two areas: Room VIII 5* of the Potter’s workshop and the North Area, where pottery manufacturing, stone roughing out, drilling, and polishing were carried out. The goal of the research is to address sensory questions, including the sounds surrounding and generated by these activities and the light ambiances in which they were performed, at several moments throughout the day and at dusk. To achieve this goal, the activities were experimentally reproduced and the sounds they emitted were recorded. The light ambiances produced were reconstructed using replicas of lamps found in Room VIII 5*. 3D models of the spaces were designed and short, animated videos focusing on the gestures of artisans and the captured sensory ambiances were generated. The study provides valuable insights into the sensory ambiances of a Bronze Age town, showing craft activities taking place until dusk and sounds generated by stone working that contributed to the rhythm of daily life.
本文旨在重建马利亚 Quartier Mu 地区手工艺活动的感官空间,马利亚 Quartier Mu 是克里特岛公元前 2 世纪初的一个城区。研究主要集中在两个区域:陶工作坊的 VIII 5* 室和北区,在那里进行陶器制造、石材粗加工、钻孔和抛光。研究的目的是解决感官问题,包括这些活动周围和产生的声音,以及在白天和黄昏时分进行这些活动时的光环境。为了实现这一目标,我们通过实验重现了这些活动,并记录了它们发出的声音。使用 VIII 5* 号房间的灯具复制品重建了所产生的光环境。设计了空间的三维模型,并制作了以工匠的手势和捕捉到的感官环境为重点的动画视频短片。这项研究为了解青铜时代城镇的感官环境提供了宝贵的资料,展示了直到黄昏时分仍在进行的手工艺活动,以及石材加工产生的声音,这些都为日常生活的节奏做出了贡献。

This study focuses on the efforts and projects to create and sustain the digital transformation of the museum collection in the Grand Egyptian Museum project. GEM is considered one of the cultural enlightenment projects where Egyptian heritage truly meets the latest technological innovations. GEM's one-of-a-kind and valuable collection will be displayed under overwhelming themes and narratives that will depict the ancient Egyptians' life, customs, death, and rebirth beliefs, which they performed and lived for almost 5,000 years. Egyptian cultural materials are spread across all of Egypt and managed by hundreds of museums; the task of digitization is a common challenge for all these museums. The study relied mainly on the quantitative method. The literature review and systematic observation were examined to study the trend toward the sustainability of GEM museum collections. Digital sustainability and digitization in Egyptian museums are constrained by limited knowledge capacity, fundraising resources, and ICT infrastructure. Faced with these constraints, the Grand Egyptian Museum has addressed these challenges with an interdisciplinary approach through collaborative planning, management, digitization, and digital presentation of its collections.

This research attempts to locate the pathways used during the Sicilian Bronze Age in the territory of the municipality of Milena (Caltanissetta, Italy), in a central area of the island. The study begins by analyzing settlement's superimposition from the Neolithic period through the Middle Ages. Using an interdisciplinary approach, it was possible to identify and hypothesize prehistoric routeways by combining UAV technology, remote sensing, and GIS applications. Thus, studying the ancient movement areas without new material evidence of their existence is possible. This methodological approach is a solution for identifying specific prehistoric pathways across the interior of Sicily. The settlement logic of the hinterland and mountainous areas on the island can sometimes be replicated in other parts of the island. The good results obtained allow us to use this case study as an example of best practices in identifying specific prehistoric routeways through the analysis of topographic features with combined technological methods to study other similar contexts.

Over the past century, our understanding of cultural heritage has evolved, and now, heritage is seen more as a process than a product. Although the advancement of digital technologies has significantly aided in the research, protection, management, interpretation, and education of cultural heritage, it also raises the question of how far this technology works in accordance with our current understanding of heritage as a process and is not taking a reductionist approach, in which heritage is cut off from its community and context. Ethical risks are higher for contested heritage, when meaning and values are questioned, or when people's ability to access and enjoy heritage is threatened. This paper discusses potential ethical risks regarding access, control, dissemination, and the digital economy by looking at existing approaches, guidelines, and principles in this field and a few digital heritage projects about contested heritage, and it questions whether the lack of an inclusive ethical framework could lead to a new kind of digital colonisation.

This paper explores how photogrammetry and free, open-source software can be used to sustainably develop museum sector capacity to digitize and publish Vietnam’s cultural heritage online. This approach was developed and applied during a digitization project as a solution to overcome challenges experienced in Vietnam concerning a lack of human, technical and financial resources. This paper draws on findings from a co-designed action research project between RMIT University Vietnam (RMIT) and the Vietnamese Women’s Museum (VWM) that developed an approach to create 3D (3 Dimensional) digital artifacts of their Betel Nut Collection using free, open-source software and applying the technique of photogrammetry. The aim was to co-design and co-produce a sustainable solution focused on readily available and easy-to-use digital technologies. However, not all artifacts could be digitized using this method, which sheds light on the challenges and opportunities of digitizing cultural heritage in the Global South. Overall, this sustainable approach can be applied by other museums and cultural institutions and can be a way to empower museums in the Global South to digitize and digitally display cultural heritage artifacts.

This paper presents a methodology for creating a comprehensive heterogeneous 3D database for the structural evaluation of a historic building by using both non-destructive and destructive surveys combined with historical information. The availability of adequate data on the actual conditions is crucial when assessing the seismic vulnerability and structural behavior of a historic building and validating the results. A reliable 3D database must accept different kinds of data, e.g., the results of destructive/non-destructive surveys, historical information, etc. It must also be interrogated and enriched at any time. Therefore, creating such a 3D database may present several challenges in terms of data-gathering pipeline, comprehensiveness/redundancy, interpretation, organization, and integration with other heterogeneous data. The methodology we present in this paper includes 3D laser scanning, thermal imaging, and endoscopy combined with information regarding the state of conservation, construction history, materials, and techniques. We tested such methodology to create a database that was later used for Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to assess the seismic vulnerability of Diotti Palace, a neoclassical building that has been the seat of the Prefect of Milan since 1859. The results are analytically presented here. In conclusion, we highlight the pros and cons of the proposed methodology by means of a comparative discussion with the state of the art about 3D documentation pipelines for historic buildings and sites.

During the last two years, we have witnessed incredible advancement in the growth of research on E-culture. Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, this advancement was not only a Eurocentric development but could also be seen in non-European countries like Iran, which has accelerated rapidly towards digitalization. This paper is the first attempt to present a comprehensive review of Iranian digital cultural initiatives during the quarantine period of the COVID-19 outbreak (March 2020 to May 2020). This study uses VOSviewer software to analyze the digitalization trend in Iran from a thematic and geographic perspective. The results reveal that there was a significant ascending trend in the number of launched digital cultural projects in Tehran province during the quarantine period. Based on the data sourced from the General Directorate of Islamic Culture and Guidance of Tehran province ‘’اداره کل فرهنگ و ارشاد اسلامی استان تهران’’, 30 digital projects with a socio-cultural scope were identified. This result is in line with the development of digital capabilities in the country. A key finding was the dominance of research related to social media platforms, as highlighted by the high number of digital cultural activities that were launched through Instagram, WhatsApp, and Telegram. This has clear implications for the improvement of E-culture in the country and the development of this domain by recognition of its social, economic, and environmental values. Moreover, the majority of cultural activities revolved around virtual festivals celebrating Iran's intangible cultural heritage, including prominent events like Nowruz (the Persian New Year). This has revealed the dominant role of cultural heritage in the progress of digitalization. These results enabled us to provide an initial framework of digital tendencies in Iran that could potentially contribute to E-culture promotion through the development of new digital tools and formats.
在过去的两年里,我们见证了电子文化研究的惊人进步。由于2019冠状病毒病的爆发,这一进展不仅以欧洲为中心,而且在伊朗等非欧洲国家也可以看到,这些国家正在迅速向数字化迈进。本文首次尝试全面回顾2019冠状病毒病疫情隔离期间(2020年3月至2020年5月)伊朗的数字文化举措。本研究使用VOSviewer软体,从专题与地理角度分析伊朗的数位化趋势。结果显示,在隔离期间,德黑兰省启动的数字文化项目数量呈显著上升趋势。根据来自德黑兰省伊斯兰文化和指导总局“اداره کل فرهنگ ارشاد اسلامی استان تهران”的数据,确定了30个具有社会文化范围的数字项目。这一结果符合该国数字能力的发展。一个重要的发现是,与社交媒体平台相关的研究占主导地位,通过Instagram、WhatsApp和Telegram推出的大量数字文化活动凸显了这一点。这对于改善该国的电子文化以及通过承认其社会、经济和环境价值来发展这一领域具有明确的意义。此外,大多数文化活动都围绕着庆祝伊朗非物质文化遗产的虚拟节日,包括诺鲁孜节(波斯新年)等著名活动。这揭示了文化遗产在数字化进程中的主导作用。这些结果使我们能够提供伊朗数字趋势的初步框架,通过开发新的数字工具和格式,可能有助于促进电子文化。

Digital tools for artworks can offer new opportunities and design new approaches for conservation and public outreach. This paper presents the experience carried out by the School of Conservation and Restoration of the University of Urbino to preserve a public collection of wooden artistic models assembled by Umberto Mastroianni and used as a project of original bronze and steel sculptures. The digital documentation supported the maintenance protocol and helped design the restoration work. Moreover, thanks to cutting-edge technologies, a virtual exhibition was created, testing an AR application that allows the public to better appreciate the results of the interventions. Digital storytelling about artistic meaning connected the models to original sculptures placed in various Italian landscapes, offering the public an artistic journey into Urbino’s architecture.

Accompanying excavation activities in the area of the Roman luxury villa of Capo di Sorrento, 3D models of the landscape and relevant features have been created using mostly Structure-from-Motion (SfM) since 2015. With this method, it was possible to create a digital surface model of the excavation site combining terrestrial, aerial, and underwater photography. From this 3D model and other, more detailed sub-models of specific objects or areas, various new data were created that greatly enhance excavation documentation and the assessment of features. While some of these data, such as orthophotos generated from SfM models, are now standard practice on excavations, other products require more effort. The research project on the villa of Capo di Sorrento went beyond the results that were obtained from 3D models, and are usually presented as 2D pictures, to expand on the 3D data collected in the field in later work. In particular, the reconstruction of a grotto triclinium based on SfM models is combined with manual and tacheometric documentation to yield far-reaching insights into the architecture, furnishings, and orientation of the rooms on the north side of the pars maritima. Renderings of 3D data are used to simulate the views from certain points. This reconstruction is thus based on both the archaeological features and the specifications of the surface models and as such combines different methods of 3D processing, and fuses digital data with analog research results. Over the course of several excavation campaigns, a corpus of 3D products has grown within the research project. The respective methods of data acquisition, processing and analysis are primarily due to the landscape conditions of the study area. The detailed representation of the rocky subsoil – i.e. the heavily manipulated limestone plateau at the northern end of the cape – above and below water played a central role.
随着Capo di Sorrento罗马豪华别墅地区的挖掘活动,自2015年以来,主要使用结构-动态(SfM)创建了景观和相关特征的3D模型。通过这种方法,可以将地面、空中和水下摄影相结合,创建挖掘现场的数字表面模型。从这个3D模型和其他更详细的特定物体或区域的子模型中,创建了各种新数据,大大增强了挖掘文档和特征评估。虽然其中一些数据,如由SfM模型生成的正射像,现在是挖掘的标准做法,但其他产品需要更多的努力。Capo di Sorrento别墅的研究项目超越了从3D模型中获得的结果,通常以2D图片的形式呈现,以便在后期的工作中对实地收集的3D数据进行扩展。特别是,基于SfM模型的三柱石窟的重建与手工和测量文件相结合,对pars marima北侧的建筑、家具和房间的朝向产生了深远的见解。3D数据的渲染图用于从某些点模拟视图。因此,这种重建既基于考古特征,又基于表面模型的规格,因此结合了不同的三维处理方法,并将数字数据与模拟研究结果融合在一起。在几次挖掘活动的过程中,3D产品的语料库在研究项目中增长。数据采集、处理和分析的方法主要取决于研究区域的景观条件。岩石底土的详细表现——也就是海角北端经过精心处理的石灰岩高原——在水面和水下发挥了核心作用。

With this method, it was possible to create a digital surface model of the excavation site combining terrestrial, aerial, and underwater photography. From this 3D model and other, more detailed sub-models of specific objects or areas, various new data were created that greatly enhance excavation documentation and the assessment of features. While some of these data, such as orthophotos generated from SfM models, are now standard practice on excavations, other products require more effort. The research project on the villa of Capo di Sorrento went beyond the results that were obtained from 3D models, and are usually presented as 2D pictures, to expand on the 3D data collected in the field in later work. In particular, the reconstruction of a grotto triclinium based on SfM models is combined with manual and tacheometric documentation to yield far-reaching insights into the architecture, furnishings, and orientation of the rooms on the north side of the pars maritima. Renderings of 3D data are used to simulate the views from certain points. This reconstruction is thus based on both the archaeological features and the specifications of the surface models and as such combines different methods of 3D processing, and fuses digital data with analog research results. Over the course of several excavation campaigns, a corpus of 3D products has grown within the research project. The respective methods of data acquisition, processing and analysis are primarily due to the landscape conditions of the study area.
