Visual Heritage: Digital Approaches in Heritage Science
暫譯: 視覺遺產：遺產科學中的數位方法

如何理解我們共同和個人的遺產，解釋並傳播這些知識，對當代社會越來越重要。這種發展的新興背景是遺產科學領域。遺產科學本質上是跨學科的，涉及藝術與人文、工程、保護以及數位科學，遺產科學的發展是社會、經濟和技術變革的推動力。本書匯集了來自世界各地的領先研究者的貢獻，提供了一系列主題貢獻，展示了遺產科學核心的理論、倫理、方法論和技術方法。考古學、保護學、博物館學、藝術、法醫科學和遺產管理通過與應用技術專家（包括物體和地面激光掃描、多光譜成像、可視化、地理資訊系統（GIS）和3D列印）的合作研究得以呈現。各章節共同展示了重要的案例研究，以展示該學科的最新進展和最佳實踐，突顯了數位轉型在遺產社群中的價值，這些遺產包括物件、紀念碑、遺址和景觀，涵蓋了來自全球的兩百萬年自然和文化歷史。

《視覺遺產：遺產科學中的數位方法》旨在面向廣泛的學術和實踐讀者，涵蓋多個學科，對於在遺產和計算機科學領域工作的學者、從業者和學生都具有相當的價值。該內容應用遺產科學於兩百萬年的文化歷史，將受到一般讀者的欣賞，以及那些希望探索本書中所代表的所有學科的潛在技術應用範圍的人士的喜愛。

Henry Chapman is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Birmingham. Following an undergraduate degree in Archaeology at the University of Exeter, he moved to the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments of England. Based within their Exeter office, he worked as an archaeological landscape investigator before moving to the University of Hull as a member of the English Heritage funded Humber Wetlands Project, and undertaking a PhD focusing on the application of GIS in landscape archaeology at the same time. Henry subsequently working on various other wetland archaeology projects at the University of Hull, before moving to Birmingham, initially as part of "Visual and Spatial Technology Centre" (Vista). He was a founding director of the Digital Humanities Hub, before becoming a lecturer. With a primary focus on later prehistory and wetland archaeology, and applied digital technologies, his research centres on the use of GIS, technical survey, and other digital technologies for the study of the past.

Professor Vincent Gaffney is Anniversary Chair in Landscape Archaeology at the Department of Archaeological Sciences at the University of Bradford. His undergraduate degree was taken at the University of Reading, and, following fieldwork at Stonehenge and on the Berkshire Downs, he spent a number of years in museums. Deciding to study for a PhD at Reading he moved to former Yugoslavia, was based in Ljubljana (Slovenia), but worked on the island of Hvar in Croatia. On returning to Britain, he worked at the University of Birmingham before moving to the University of Bradford. His research has included studies of Roman urbanisation at Wroxeter, survey of Diocletian's Mausoleum, the wetland landscape of the river Cetina (Croatia), fieldwork in Italy and historic landscape characterisation at Fort Hood (Texas). An early adopter of GIS in archaeology, and an advocate of digital applications in heritage research, he founded the "Visual and Spatial Technology Centre" (Vista) at Birmingham, and is now part of the "Visualising Heritage" team at Bradford. He leads the UK team within the UK/LBI_ArchPro "Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes" project, and is Principal Investigator on the ERC Advanced Grant project 'Europe's Lost Frontiers'.
