Within digital archaeology, an important part is centered on technologies that allow representing, or replaying, ancient environments. It is a field where scientific competences' contribution to contents makes a difference, and pedagogical repercussion are stimulating. Among the other reality technologies, the Mixed Reality, giving the possibility to experience in front of the users' eyes both static models of individual objects and entire landscapes, it is increasingly used in archaeological contexts as display technology, with different purposes such as educational, informative, or simply for entertainment. This chapter provides a high-level overview about possible orientations and uses of this technology in cultural heritage, also sketching its use in gaming within the role of gaming itself in smart communication of archaeological contents and issues.
In the era of digital archaeology, the communication of archaeological data/contexts/work can be enhanced by Cloud computing, AI, and other emergent technologies. The authors explore the most recent and efficient examples, ranging from some intrinsic properties of AI, i.e. capabilities of sense, comprehend and act, and looking at their application in communication both among specialists of the archaeological sector and from them to other recipients. The chapter will also provide a high-level overview of knowledge extraction solutions from tons of structured and unstructured data, to make it available through software applications that perform automated tasks. Archaeologists must be ready to go down in trenches and communicate their studies with a deep consciousness of chances given by these technologies, and with adequate skills to master them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
