Archaeology and Cultural Heritage of land and sea
The practice of archaeological excavation and the new technologies for study, documentation and exhibition
Location: Procida (Na)
Art. 1: Establishment of the Summer School
In accordance with the Statute of the Centre for Lifelong Learning of the University, the School for Summer Education "Archeology and Cultural Heritage of land and sea." The practice of archaeological excavation and new study, documentation and exhibition technologies", is established. Based in Procida (NA) AY 2016/2017, it celebrates this year its second edition.
Art. 2: Objectives of the School
The Italian archaeological heritage is strongly characterized by the maritime element. Research on land and sea has seen in recent years a particular development in the field of new technologies, especially those devoted to three-dimensional survey and 3D modelling together with chemical-physical diagnostic procedures.
The possibility to experiment directly with such practices, to become acquainted with its hardware and software components within an insular area such as the one represented by the Phlegrean archipelago, is a unique opportunity.
The islands of Procida-Vivara are, in fact, the site of one of the oldest centres in the maritime trade that linked Mycenaean Greece with the regions of the western Mediterranean. The traces of the Bronze Age settlement (XVII-XV centuries BC) on the island of Vivara and those of the ancient port-landing, today submerged at a depth of about 14 meters below sea level, have been the subject of Archaeological research for several decades. The Vivara excavation site is a typical "fragile" proto-historic excavation, closely linked to the complex geological events that characterized the entire area.
Art. 3: The involved Institutions and the initiative's configuration
The University of Naples, Suor Orsola Benincasa, in agreement with the Township of Procida, in collaboration with the National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanology, and with the participation of other national and European Universities and institutes dedicated to safeguard and research in Cultural heritage sector, have decided to accompany the annual study activities on the island of Vivara, a training initiative that will allow Italian and European learners to become acquainted with and experience, in close connection with the procedures of an archaeological excavation, both on land and at sea, a wide range of techniques related to documentation, diagnostic analysis and the strategies of representation and enjoyment of a Mediterranean area.
These range from the most advanced applications in the field of terrestrial and underwater 3D surveying, remote sensing, sea and marine environments by means of specific equipment (drones and ROVs), the possibilities of non-invasive diagnostic analysis of the finds, to the conjugation of Traditional restoration and design practices with new forms of documentation and monitoring.
Particular attention for the 2017 School will be reserved to bio- and geo-archaeological research, with a strong emphasis on new technologies for geophysical study and monitoring, and for petrographic analysis.
Closely related to such innovative technology-based study processes is the new science for computer management and access to complex data ("pattern recognition" and "large data management")
The following institutions (besides the 3 Institutions indicated in the announcement) adhere to the initiative:
Department of Earth Sciences, Environment and Resources (DiSTAR), University of Naples Federico II, for geological and petrographic surveys
Department of Cultural Heritage of the University of Salento (in collaboration with the Department of Physics of University of Naples, Federico II), in the field of archaeo-metallurgical studies
National Institute of Optics (INO, CNR), for colourimetry diagnostics
National Institute for Naval Architecture Studies and Experiences (INSEAN, CNR), for the development of marine research vessels
Institute for Electro-Magnetic Detection of the Environment (IREA, CNR), for marine diagnostics
Institute of Studies on Intelligent Automation Systems (CNR, ISSIA), for the development of mechatronic systems
Applied Physics Institute (IFAT, CNR), laser technique for cultural heritage
Superintendency of the Sea of the Sicilian Region, for the study of submerged archaeological sites
Superintendency of Zakynthos Island of the Greek Ministry of Culture, for the historical and archaeological study of Mycenaean contexts
Naval League of Procida, for the support of all in water actions
The initiative is also supported by:
- Albano Francescano Foundation of Procida;
- State Natural Reserve of the Island of Vivara;
- Civil Protection of Procida for all assistance related to the access to the island of Vivara.
Art. 4: Lesson and laboratory location
Classroom and laboratory training activities will take place at the Palazzo della Cultura (former Conservatory of the Orphans) of the Town of Procida, in the district of Terra Murata, home of the TERRA Project, a scientific plexus resulting from a cultural collaboration agreement between the Municipality of Procida and the University of Naples Suor Orsola Benincasa in collaboration with the University of Naples Federico II, Department of Earth Sciences, Environment and Resources (DiSTAR), located on the citadel of Procida (the so-called "Terra Murata"). Here is an exhibition area dedicated to geology, archaeology and topography of the Procida-Vivara district, a conference room and an archaeological workshop dedicated to the Vivara Mission.
