Living Heritage is a project carried out by several enterprises specialized in digital content industry, in collaboration with the Digital Archaeology Lab (LAD) of University of Foggia and Regional Directorate for cultural Heritage of Apulia. The project aims to tool up a living lab that will set up and test a collaborative production methodology of digital content for archaeology and cultural heritage among technologies, languages and creativity. The co-design approach will be tested as a solution to improve the quality of communication, reaching results that should be at the same time scientifically correct and attractive.","PeriodicalId":52934,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Digital Heritage","volume":"40 1","pages":"391-394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90711614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Soon after excavation problems appeared; despite of numerous attempts for restoration; the problems still prevail. In this paper, I have attempted to address the issues considering the root causes thus have divided the paper into two major parts. The water level and salts are not surely the sole factor -cause for deterioration of buildings as e.g. the geology of the area is another factor (seismic data, crust movements, winds etc.). Throughout the study, the main cause which is the effect of salt have been scientifically analysed asking basic but viable questions like how, where and why it the salt attacks. The research is further taken into experimental consideration to authenticate the findings and possible recommendations have been also provided. The proposed recommendations are less expensive, easy to commence and maintain and authentic in increasing the longevity of Mohenjo-daro baked brick masonry. The present research is taken mainly in the DK area where tall walls still towering the area. The main street, chief house, mud brick wall and other were considered for sampling. After which the immediate surroundings of the Mohenjo-daro were also previewed where cultivation is regularly exercised. This activity has immensely contributed the problem and has increased the water table and salinity in the top surface soil and has ultimately become the major source for the generations of the salts. A workable low cast proposal has been provided; if launched, the fruits will be immense.","PeriodicalId":52934,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Digital Heritage","volume":"30 1","pages":"763"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80575951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this sense, virtual archaeology is an educational tool that has a significant potential. However, virtual reconstructions of the past also could distort, offering images of the reality they interpret, which are believable, but often false. The confusion in the current state of knowledge regarding to the concepts implemented in the interventions on site and the production of virtual images requires raising terminological clarifications, defining all of the possible operations in the archaeological heritage: reconstruction, restitution, recreation, interpretation, simulation and rehabilitation. On the other hand, from the point of view of the current educational research, offering images of the past without approaching the methods that will lead to its development, does not provide any scientific knowledge. Thus, historical reconstruction without any method could become a factory of “myths”. For this reason, we believe that the virtual archaeology and any approach based on digital techniques should take into consideration the following items: Providing methodological tools for users to know how the knowledge has been acquired, providing different hypothesis that exist about the past, helping to develop critical thinking, and providing images of the past. To illustrate the above goals we provide a case study based on this theoretical argumentation. It is about the study of the archaeological site of the Iberian Citadel of Calafell, where it was possible to contrast archaeological research on site with iconographic research generated by digital models. The archaeological site is the only archaeological Protohistoric site on Iberian Peninsula, which has been restituted by experimental a","PeriodicalId":52934,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Digital Heritage","volume":"17 1","pages":"755"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73791489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital architectural archives -public institutions, architecture museums, university institutes, private foundations, by their continue improvement of their interoperability, proficiency and efficiency, contribute to multiply access to information and to promote cultural dissemination at large scale. The expansive process of multidisciplinary knowledge, experienced in today digital environment, combined with the ability to synthetize and recognize new or hidden patterns for new disclosures, is becoming the major asset also for architectural study. Technology supports today's learning process by offering new tools and interactive devices while making learning experience deeper and more informal at the same time. The ongoing global trend of digitization of the architectural heritage, has extensive applications: as conversion of items in visual files, as resources management, as user interface and interaction design, and as multimedia platforms where, at different levels (for curators, designers, scholars, final users, as well as simple amateurs), a creative interpretation offers to set up links among contents, objects, images, texts, audiovideos, via notions and emotions, augmenting exponentially the network effects. Digital archives, upon layouts and filters, allow not only to run digital data flow, to better display their contents and exploit their value (input), but also to create fluent and dynamic links and aggregations, as visual and synthetic mind maps (output).
