INTERNATIONAL SUMMERSCHOOL
3D MODELING IN ARCHAEOLOGY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE

15-18 June 2009, Trento, Italy

The International Summer School in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage is a well-established interdisciplinary event. These events represent an important occasion to establish contacts between experts in archaeology, cultural heritage, art history, architects and experts from remote sensing, photogrammetry, CAD, spatial information science, computer graphics, virtual reality, etc. The School emphasizes international composition of the audience, extended discussions between participants and direct relationships between lecturers and students, which ultimately could lead to joint projects. The organizing institutions have longstanding experiences in the preparation of international scientific events. The Schools organized in the last decades dealt with themes which have created important initiatives and international debate aimed at advancing archaeological work in Europe and beyond. In general the Schools emphasize an interdisciplinary concept, involving the use of techniques from natural, geo- and engineering sciences in archaeology and natural/cultural heritage.

The systematic and correct use of 3D models for documentation and conservation or archaeological and architectural artefacts started just recently, but it is still lacking and default application for different reasons:
1) the thought of the 'high costs' of 3D techniques
2) the difficulties in producing good 3D models
3) the misconception that it is only an optional tool for interpretation (an additional 'aesthetic' factor)
4) the difficulty to integrate 3D worlds with other 2D data and documentations

Our School will face and discuss these problems, giving participants the opportunity to obtain a detailed overview of the main methods and applications for archaeological, architectural and conservation researches and practices. Furthermore, our School will give the chance to participants to enter in a very short time the kernel of the scientific discussion on 3D technologies' surveying methods, documentation, data management and data interpretation.

The School will also try to bring together researchers and users in the natural, geo- and engineering sciences, using advanced information acquisition and processing techniques, supported by work in the laboratory.

Last but not least, the School will search to promote a dialog between workers in different fields, particularly between those concerned with research and those more concerned with matters of conservation and documentation.
