Abstract

For the present work, we have considered two types of users: common users (mainly not expert on the content) and expert users (belonging to the scientific community).We have assumed that the main aim for common users is to understand the past, to live an experience and to build “affinity, empathy” that can help in finding joy and motivation to increase their knowledge. On the other side, expert users have other requirements: they need to read a reconstruction and propose alternative possibilities of sites and landscape reconstruction. This represents a shift from past research with a significant impact on how material culture is documented and understood.
