09/11/2026
The ARCHAEODIGIT project is pleased to announce the release of the fifteenth episode of its podcast series, “Digging Digital: the ARCHAEODIGIT Podcast.” Developed within the framework of the project's training and communication activities, the series explores innovative approaches to the valorisation of archaeological heritage through digital skills, communication, sustainable management, and audience engagement.
Following the thematic structure of the ARCHAEODIGIT Joint Training Courses, the podcast series brings together experts and practitioners to discuss key topics related to the digital transformation and sustainable management of archaeology and cultural heritage. Through conversations and practical examples, the series provides valuable insights for cultural heritage professionals, tourism operators, researchers, students, public authorities, and anyone interested in making archaeological heritage more accessible, resilient, and sustainable.
Episode 15: Connecting Coast and Inland
The fifteenth episode continues the journey into Module 4:Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Archaeological sites.
Hosted by Anna Cingoli, project manager at Forum AIC, the episode welcomes Riccardo Carmenati, adjunct professor in Classical Archaeology - Department of Humanities, University of Macerata. Together, they discuss how to use mapping tools to design cross-border itineraries that mitigate seasonal tourism pressure.
During the conversation, Riccardo Carmenati addresses several aspects of GIS and how they are connected to modern archaeology:
- The importance for a modern Archaeologist to be familiar with GIS (Geographic Information Systems).
- How can the interplay between physical cultural heritage and these systems can boost the valorization of our territories.
- How these new technologies can contribute to the deseasonalization of tourist routes
Continuing the journey through digital archaeology
“Digging Digital: the ARCHAEODIGIT Podcast” consists of 20 episodes, organised into thematic modules reflecting the project's training programme. Future episodes will continue exploring digital communication, innovative technologies, archaeological park management, heritage interpretation, audience engagement, sustainable tourism, and collaborative approaches to preserving and promoting archaeological heritage across the Adriatic-Ionian region.
The podcast series represents another step in ARCHAEODIGIT's commitment to strengthening the skills of professionals working in archaeology and cultural heritage, while encouraging collaboration and knowledge exchange among institutions, researchers, tourism stakeholders, public authorities, and local communities.
