Dynamic archives. The documentation of six mediterranean theatres

The promotion and preservation of cultural heritage in the 21st century are inextricably bound up with innovative processes of acquisition, management and knowledge. Continuous technological progress and the digital revolution offer new tools and possibilities that can be applied to research. The development and enhancement of techniques for the mass acquisition and processing of this data in 2D-3D models has made these processes fundamental to disseminating information on Architectural Archaeology. This article is part of the Athena Project (Ancient Theatres Enhancement for New Actualities), which has involved the study of some theatres of cities located in the Mediterranean basin: Mérida, Petra, Jerash, Carthage, Cherchell and Syracuse.
