Introduction. International Data Aggregation for Archaeological Research and Heritage Management: the ARIADNE experience

Abstract

The volume originates from a conference session co-organised by Edeltraud Aspöck, Guntram Geser and Julian Richards, at the international conference ‘Cultural Heritage and New Technologies’ (CHNT) held in Vienna in November 2022. The papers presented there have been extensively revised, and some additional ones have been commissioned. They represent a wide range of activities, and illustrate some of the impacts of ARIADNE across heritage management and research.

Achievements of the ARIADNE Initiative for Archaeological Data Sharing and Research

“…The ARIADNE projects had to provide reports on their innovative results and impacts (ARIADNE 2017; ARIADNEplus 2022b). ARIADNEplus built on the substantial, indeed pathbreaking, achievements of the original ARIADNE project, and opened a new chapter of innovation and impact, referring to The ARIADNE Impact book (Richards and Niccolucci 2019), in which partners, both established and new, describe perceived benefits of engaging in the ARIADNE initiative. This article presents selected achievements of the initiative with the ARIADNEplus project, described in greater detail and with many references within sections of its impact report (ARIADNEplus 2022b).…”
