Colloquium C04 Technology and Methodology for Archaeological Practice: Practical applications for the past reconstruction Technologie et Méthodologie pour la pratique en Archéologie : applications pratiques pour la reconstruction du passé Alexandra Figueiredo - alexfiga@ipt.pt, (UISPP Comm.4) Hans Kamermans - H.Kamermans@arch.leidenuniv.nl New methods appear everyday, as technology goes further and new opportunities of analysis are given. From Statistics to Artificial Intelligence, from GIS to 3D, today’s archaeological practice has changed, as computers become more and more included in our lives. This is the space of innovation, where we invite you to the presentation of new ways of being archaeologist. The aim of this colloquium is to congregate researchers that work with computers application to the archaeology, displaying the most recent methods and the used techniques in the study of the past Colloquium C05 Re-construction, simulation, reconstitution – How real is our real, how fake is our past? Reconstruction, simulation, reconstitution – Combien réel est notre réel ? Jusqu’a quel point notre passé est imaginé? Gonçalo Velho - gonvelho@ipt.pt, François Djindjian - francois.djindjian@wanadoo.fr, (UISPP Comm.4) As Computer methods are developed, new means are used to present the message: Multimedia, Hyper-text, or interactive Documentaries. Following McLuhan (1994) ideas that the mean is the message, and Baudrillard philosophy that in our time all is simulation, we are challenged through the idea of what is our Past: a today’s construction or a scientific result through defined methods. This world in which we are living allows us to jump into new paradigms in which technology has an important role. The challenge that we invite you in is to think on this new opportunities that arouse on this world, which take us a little bit closer to the most real reality: a hiper-reality. Language to be used: English and French Proposals for lectures should not exceed one A4 page, and must be written in English or French.
