Everyone knows the importance of new technologies and the growth they have had in mobile devices. Today in the field of study and dissemination of cultural heritage (including archaeological), the use of digital 3D models and associated technologies are a tool to increase the registration quality and consequently a better basis for interpretation a...
Ditched enclosures have been found in many European regions during the Neolithic and Copper Age. This widespread, almost pan-European monumental tradition has also been documented in the Iberian Peninsula in the last 25 years, although the impact of their discovery in the continental debates has been, for the most part, rather small. In these enclo...
The Information Technology and Communications (ICT) have revolutionized the way to promote and interpret the cultural heritage in the world of tourism. Currently any destination that aims to be competitive must continually update all information that may be of interest to the visitor. The tourist whose main motivation is the culture is characterize...
