A selection of best and recent publications in digital archaeology, neurohumanities and AI
Maurizio Forte is a prominent scholar at Duke University, known for his extensive contributions to the fields of and digital humanities. His bibliography encompasses a range of topics, including the application of digital technologies in archaeological research and the exploration of cultural heritage. Forte's work emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, integrating traditional archaeological methods with innovative digital tools to enhance understanding and preservation of historical sites. Through his research, he aims to bridge the gap between academia and public engagement fostering a deeper appreciation for cultural heritage.
A 3D repository in archaeology is digital platform that stores and shares three-dimensional models of archaeological artifacts and sites. It allows and the public to access, visualize, and study these objects in detail, enhancing understanding and preservation efforts. By providing a centralized location for 3D data, it fosters collaboration and promotes the dissemination of archaeological knowledge. A remarkable example is 3D Archaeology-Morphosource, developed at Duke University
