Abstract
Session involves innovative methods concerning all historical and scientific aspects related to the knowledge of the past and cultural built heritage as well as novel technologies, data acquisition, interpretation and theoretical issues related to both the buried archaeological heritage and the monumental heritage and they preservation. In particular it focused on:
i) innovative methodologies for the understanding of ancient landscapes: application and development of integrated methodologies for the study and analysis of changes in settlements and territories during Antiquity, the Middles Ages and modern times;
ii) integrated methodologies of investigation in situ and in the laboratory for diagnostics of materials and products aimed at preservation and restoration of the architectural and archaeological heritage;
iii) advanced techniques for non-invasive diagnostics and remote sensing for the identification and reconstruction of buried structures of archaeological interest, and for the study and restoration of historical buildings;
iv) advanced techniques for 3D reconstruction and remote appreciation of monuments and landscapes;
v) identification of natural and human risk factors relevant to the safeguarding of archaeological sites;
vi) methodologies and physical techniques related to the historical built environment, with particular reference to indoor contexts;
vii) on site examination of vulnerability to earthquakes, achieved through technical and historical investigations of the damage generated by past seismic events.
