About

Today’s research in the field of history & archaeology improves both interdisciplinary and new technologies. Various training courses are available to users in various specialities and even more in the generic use of specific software (photography, CAD, databases, GIS, etc.), but there is no option of having an overall account of what kind of methods and techniques may be currently adapted to our needs, nor of helping us choosing a software or a working tool rather than another that would be more suitable under such conditions of study. What would provide archaeometry, geophysics, geomorphology or geomatics analysis to our field data, or even specific functions of a software or an apparatus such as a camera – to work on CAD, or in data processing, and even more on web platforms, as a direct response to our institutions about Open Science and Creative Commons?

This blog is a matter of current events. Its purpose is to present and get to know both experts in their respective fields within the scientific sectors and emerging methods and techniques applied to the scientific world, all working tools actually needed to better develop research as a whole. It aims to break down barriers between the disciplines in order to optimise both primary resource and research results to be used and exploited.

The blog is meant to be open and ever changing, thanks to a will intent attitude that relies on a permanent watch on new approach and technologies in Digital Humanities. It is aimed at young researchers (masters, phd) as well as at professionals and statutory members of the universities and the cnrs in active archaeological or documentary operations, whatever the place, mainland or abroad.

The topics covered will involve Digital Imaging (aerial photograph, topography, photogrammetry system, augmented reality), building archaeology, artefacts archaeometry (from know-how to preservation), digital resource optimisation (archive management, databases, geomatics, GIS, WebGIS) as well as participative science – Open Science, Creative Commons – and valorisation (film, exhibition, cultural events and mediations).
