摘要

Τhis paper briefly presents the Post Doctoral Research Project for highlighting the type of use of the archaeologically probable site of the plateau of the northern arm of Voidokιlia Bay, in Messenia Prefecture, Peloponnese, Greece, where buried archaeological relics of the EH-MH-LH period have been identified, following the application of the remotely sensed imagery photointerpretation methodology. More specifically, by combining the sciences of field archaeology with geoinformatics and archaeoinformatics, archaeological excavation data already published are being studied in a GIS environment, in order to digitally highlight their correlation in antiquity, more precisely in the Bronze Age, and extract qualitative and quantitative information, further revealing land and sea communication networks, as well as cultural interactions between the Cycladic, Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations in the wider area of ​​Greece, finally focusing in particular on the wider area of ​​southern Greece. The component of applied archaeology through the additional integration of open data-open access and free software, combined with crowdsourcing, thus showing the way for an open-to-the-public cultural heritage management, constitutes a significant perspective of the research process in question, highlighting a nearly zero-cost and user-friendly cultural heritage management model. Final goal, the inclusion of different groups of people, whether researchers, cultural heritage managers, or people’s community, in the direction of a creative contribution and enrichment in the field of digital humanities.
