ANDlab · RESEARCH
Research
ANDlab approaches the ancient world through the combined study of archaeological, historical, and literary evidence, cultural landscapes, and material heritage. Interdisciplinary and digital methods are employed to document, analyse, interpret, and critically revisit the past.
RESEARCH PROFILE
Research Areas
The Laboratory’s research activities are organised around interconnected thematic and methodological areas that enable the study of antiquity through different categories of evidence and at multiple scales of analysis.
Archaeological Methodology & Documentation
Methods of archaeological research, recording, and interpretation, ranging from field documentation and excavation to the organisation and reuse of archaeological information.
Texts, Inscriptions & Written Sources
Study of literary, historical, and epigraphic sources and exploration of their relationship with the archaeological record.
Landscape Archaeology & Ancient Topography
Study of spatial organisation, ancient landscapes, and the relationships between settlements, monuments, activities, and the environment.
Experimental Archaeology
Exploration of archaeological questions through reconstruction, experimental procedures, and the practical study of materials, technologies, and uses.
Public Archaeology & Reception of Antiquity
Study of the ways in which the past is interpreted, presented, and reused in contemporary society.
Cultural Heritage
Research on the documentation, protection, management, and interpretation of cultural heritage and its relationships with communities.
CROSS-CUTTING APPROACH
Digital Methods in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage
Digital methods cut across different areas of ANDlab research: from digital documentation, photogrammetry, and three-dimensional recording to GIS, spatial analysis, semantic modelling, research data management, and emerging applications of artificial intelligence.
