Proceedings of the ARQUEOLÓGICA 2.0 8th International Congress on Archaeology, Computer Graphics, Cultural Heritage and Innovation

This book comprises the proceedings of ARQUEOLOGICA 2.0 – 8th International Congress on Archaeology, Computer Graphics, Cultural Heritage and Innovation at the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV), Valencia, Spain, on 5-7 September, 2016. ARQUEOLOGICA 2.0 discusses both the present and future of documentation, reconstruction and computer aided rendering techniques, applied to the field of Cultural Heritage. ARQUEOLOGICA 2.0 – 8th invited authors to submit original and unpublished work in applied and innovative digital heritage areas such as documentation of cultural heritage, high-end digitisation and 3D modelling of objects, monuments and sites, virtual conservation/restoration, virtual archaeology, virtual museums, virtual exhibitions, cultural heritage gaming, collaborative environments and internet technologies and social media in archaeology. The main aim was to offer an updated overview about the Heritage of the 21st century applying new and innovative techniques and methodologies. The lemma of the present edition was: Advanced 3D documentation, modelling and reconstruction of cultural heritage objects, monuments and sites. The Scientific Committee carried out a great peer-reviewing task selecting the papers that are presented in the form of long scientific papers and works in progress (short papers). The former constitute the first part of the book; the latter the second part. Some selected contributions from both the long and the short scientific papers are in the process of being published in the Virtual Archaeology Review (VAR). ARQUEOLOGICA 2.0 – 8th International Congress was organised by the Spanish Society of Virtual Archaeology (SEAV), the Virtual Archaeology International Network (INNOVA), and the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (School of Engineering in Geodesy, Cartography and Surveying, ETSIGCT; Dept. of Cartographic Engineering, Geodesy and Photogrammetry, DICGF; Photogrammetry & Laser Scanning Research Group, GIFLE) in cooperation with CIPA Heritage Documentation, European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) and COST-Action TD 1201: Colour and Space in Cultural Heritage (COSCH).
