Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the synergistic collaboration of various scientific disciplines in unraveling the mysteries of the past. By integrating expertise from archaeology, geology, applied geophysics, remote sensing, and archaeoseismology, researchers deepen our understanding of ancient civilizations and their material remains. The collection of articles showcases the power of multidisciplinary approaches in shedding new light on archaeological discoveries.
This Special Issue also highlights the significance of geology, applied geophysics, and seismic engineering in archaeological investigations. The integration of these disciplines provides insights into the geological context of archaeological sites, the detection of buried structures, the assessment of seismic risks, and the reconstruction of ancient seismic events. Furthermore, this Special Issue explores the use of geochemistry as a tool for studying ancient thermal sites and to identify buried active faults.
By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, this volume demonstrates the value of multidisciplinary investigations in archaeology. The collaborative efforts between various disciplines expand our knowledge, enrich our cultural heritage, and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of ancient civilizations. The articles presented in this Special Issue provide a glimpse into the innovative methodologies, cutting-edge technologies, and interdisciplinary approaches that drive modern archaeological research.
In conclusion, multidisciplinary investigations are indispensable tools in archaeology, helping us uncover the past and reconstruct the history of the territory, including past natural catastrophes such as earthquakes and eruptions. By combining scientific rigor, technological advancements, and community engagement, archaeologists can piece together the puzzle of our heritage, unraveling stories buried in the sands of time. This holistic approach ensures that our collective legacy is understood, appreciated, and preserved for future generations.
