Expert Seminar on History and Archaeology: Virtual History and Archaeology Report
A Better Understanding of the Past
Historians and archaeologists have engaged in informed and advanced debates within their respective communities on the questions of how ICT can enable a better understanding of the past. Until now there has been little opportunity for cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas. This seminar was an important opportunity to address this issue, and a primary goal of the event was to encourage crossdisciplinary collaborations. The expert seminar took place over three days with an ambitious programme that covered a wide-ranging set of disciplines, tools and methods. The programme focused on three subjects: the past and virtual representation of® place and time; the past and virtual representation of texts; the past and representation of objects and events. Each session brought together specialists in the application of ICT to the historical and archaeological domains; recognizing that the two disciplines have much in common, yet are frequently isolated from one another.
