| Popis: | The title of this paper is an adaptation of Ian Hodder’s notion that interpretation starts ‘at the trowel’s edge’ (1997), as excavations should be active, refl exive and multivocal practices, during which interpretation takes place as an inextricable part of our research. The process of interpretation is a complicated issue. It has engrossed most practitioners, and is closely related to the conceptualisation of the past as refl ecting contemporary social and cultural experiences through the scrutiny of cultural heritage remains. Archaeological remains are under appreciated, as they can be accessed only by specialised audiences, and any fi nds are presented by means of conventional illustrations and comprehensive list of artefacts. Even the most common recording method in archaeology, i.e. fi eldnotes, and the subsequent site reports, have been criticised (Hodder 1989) for their distance and impersonality, as well as their attempt to demonstrate objectivity by establishing rigorous classifi cations and complex terminologies. For that reason, different forms of media have been used in the interpretive processes, not only in scientifi c research, but also for providing varied levels of engagement with the archaeological datasets by the public. L'apporto delle applicazioni virtuali nell'interpretazione del passato. Le tecnologie digitali applicate ai beni culturali hanno cambiato in larga misura il nostro modo di comprendere il passato e il modo di fare ricerca. Utilizzando con cura queste metodologie e sfruttando il loro potenziale nel caso studio di Creta Minoica, mostreremo che il processo interpretativo può essere rafforzato, non solo nella presente ricerca, ma anche nella presentazione del passato al pubblico fornendo un approccio di multivocalità, un’esperienza di totale immersione e un riflesso nelle unità analitiche e nel background dell'osservatore. |
