Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the realm of archaeological and cultural heritage research, the integration of cutting-edge sensors and sensing technologies has emerged as a transformative force, redefining how we explore, document, and preserve our rich past. This Special Issue delves into the multifaceted applications advanced sensing tools can be put to in unraveling the mysteries of ancient civilizations and safeguarding cultural treasures. From ground-penetrating radar to LiDAR and beyond, these technologies offer unprecedented capabilities for non-invasive investigations, revealing hidden layers of history and intricate details of heritage sites. Moreover, the advent of smart sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and data analytics has ushered in a new era of real-time monitoring, ensuring the sustainable conservation of artifacts and structures amidst evolving environmental challenges. As we embark on this exploration, this Special Issue aims to showcase the diverse facets of sensor technologies, their integration into archaeological methodologies, and the ethical considerations guiding their use. By bringing together contributions from experts in the field, this Special Issue seeks to open up new avenues for non-invasive exploration and real-time conservation of archaeological sites and cultural artifacts, illuminating the diverse range of applications as well as the challenges and ethical considerations inherent to integrating sensor technologies, ultimately showcasing their potential to reshape the future of heritage evaluation and preservation.
