“…In this respect, development of proper tools and technologies for identifying and assessing UCH sites (see e.g., [53]) seems to be a primary step in order for performance and operational applications for monitoring and management of UCH, including discovery, documentation, risk monitoring and preservation of heritage sites, to be advanced [54,55]. To this end, researchers are nowadays largely supported by the state of the art developments in underwater technology that support them in conducting survey, identification, navigation, excavation, documentation, restoration, and conservation of UCH.…”

Sustainable Management of Underwater Cultural Heritage: The Route from Discovery to Engagement—Open Issues in the Mediterranean

Fatal events taking place in World War (WW) I and II have left behind important historical evidence as an underwater cultural heritage (UCH) (e.g., shipwrecks, submerged aircraft, war artifacts), lying in peace at the bottom of, among others, the Mediterranean Sea. The article aims at exploring the challenges for UCH protection/preservation and sustainable exploitation with emphasis on this sea. UCH is so far dealt with in a “silo” approach by marine archaeologists or heritage professionals, who often ignore its potential for serving local sustainable development goals. The paper elaborates on the value, but also the complexity, multi- and inter-disciplinary as well as multi-actors’ nature of UCH management and sustainable exploitation, perceiving these as a “wicked” planning problem. It attempts to illuminate various important dimensions of this problem, such as its glocal (global/local) context; the conflicting and, in certain cases, inconsistent UCH legal protection framework, touching upon a variety of spatial scales; the contemporary policy frameworks favoring UCH management; etc. Exploration of these dimensions reveals open issues or gaps that need to be filled, and sets the ground for a more holistic and integrated UCH research and management approach for building up the yet largely untold, Mediterranean WW I and II UCH narrative; and shifting this area from a sea graveyard to a place of memory and cultural enrichment.

“…The potential of 'virtual museums' for maritime archaeology was first discussed by Kenderdine (1998) but the first substantial projects did not begin until around 2004 (Adams 2013, 93-94) and interest continues to grow (Alvik et al 2014;Chapman et al 2010;Drap et al 2007;Haydar et al 2008;Sanders 2011). The iMareCulture (2018) project is amongst the most substantial current developments; the EU-funded collaboration between 11 partners in 8 countries, integrates archaeological data into virtual reality and further advances the practice by gamifying the experience (Bruno et al 2016(Bruno et al , 2017Liarokapis et al 2017;Philbin-Briscoe et al 2017;Skarlatos et al 2016). Woods et al provide an excellent example of virtual reality for maritime archaeology in this volume (Chap.…”

3D Recording and Interpretation for Maritime Archaeology

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter provides an overview of the rise of 3D technologies in the practice of maritime archaeology and sets the scene for the following chapters in this volume. Evidence is presented for a paradigm shift in the discipline from 2D to 3D recording and interpretation techniques which becomes particularly evident in publications from 2009. This is due to the emergence or improvement of a suite of sonar, laser, optical and other sensor-based technologies capable of capturing terrestrial, intertidal, seabed and sub-seabed sediments in 3D and in high resolution. The general increase in available computing power and convergence between technologies such as Geographic Information Systems and 3D modelling software have catalysed this process. As a result, a wide variety of new analytical approaches have begun to develop within maritime archaeology. These approaches, rather than the sensor technologies themselves, are of most interest to the maritime archaeologist and provide the core content for this volume. We conclude our discussion with a brief consideration of key issues such as survey standards, digital archiving and future directions.

“…This is an attempt to preserve cultural diversity in the cultural domain affected by globalization. Furthermore, European Union has funded a number of research projects related to virtual museum such as MU.S.EU.M [13], V-MUST.NET [14], i-MARECULTURE [15], ViMM (http://www.vi-mm.eu) and similar. The aim is to create a network of Virtual Museums that are "educational, enjoyable, long-lasting and easy to maintain" [16].…”

As traditional museums migrate to the virtual world, they offer wider access to the exhibit collections but often fail to present content of those collections in more engaging way. Game-based learning is one of the solutions to mitigate this inevitable transition and support active learning in the process. It is increasingly gaining interest from the cultural heritage scientific community for the purpose of promoting cultural heritage, raising awareness of its importance and motivating users to visit cultural institutions such as museums more often. There are numerous examples of serious games that are based on or contain heritage content. Tangible cultural heritage is more represented in the virtual worlds and mainly based on applications of 3D technology. Recently, intangible cultural heritage is gaining more visibility within cultural heritage scope as a domain in which game-based learning could assist in its preservation. This paper attempts to address pros and cons of game-based learning in general and reflect on the choices of using serious games in the museum environment.
