Innovations > Virtual archaeology

The scientific aim of virtual archaeology in not only to offer reconstructions of models and images of the ancient world, but also to create and communicate real and proper scientific interpretative processes: the reconstruction is not the last and final study result of the collected data, but an interpretative basis which can be corrected, improved or modified.

Virtual archaeology should become an active and shared space where data, models, hypothesis and archives can be evaluated and compared: a cyberspace of interactive knowledge able to identify all the possible interpretative realities.

Virtual archaeology is able to connect the present archaeological landscape with the ancient one through a methodological process which is always transparent: although the ancient world can be neither reproduced nor reconstructed, however, virtual archaeology tries to rebuild the developing contest that the time has erased.
