Abstract

The interdisciplinary field of archaeometry covers a wide range of subject categories and disciplines in relation to science and humanities. It is a well-established academic field of study and accredited part of higher education. Since its inception, the nomenclature designation of archaeometry signifies the appropriate methodology applied to archaeological materials and questions emerging from this field, regarding monuments, artifacts, and the reconstruction and management of landscape bearing cultural assets. The measurements of tangible culture denote significant information, such as chronology, authenticity, technology, characterization, provenance, discovering buried antiquities, ancient-day life activities, and three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions and modelling; furthermore, proxy data collected from environmental dynamic non-liner perturbations, which link local ecosystems with dwellings, are gathered by academia to study the past. The traditional rooting signifies the cultural legacies of people, which define the human desire and the confidence of memory and future trends. Beyond the mere study of the past, archaeometry’s role increasingly proves affinity to prosperity, if properly managed. The major archaeometrical contributions in cultural heritage and archaeology in general are reviewed herein, and we present the policies that could develop archaeometrical data into a sustainable stage of local, regional, and national economic development. Τhe United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) conventions for the documentation and protection of cultural heritage via new technologies and archaeometry are reviewed and connected to development strategies and sustainable development goals.

Summary

Cooperation between Scientific and Humanities Disciplines

The relationship that links the interdisciplinary field of archaeometry with the concept of sustainability, as well as the way these two fields cooperate, alerted authorities and institutions of the public and private sector. The theoretical framework for adopting new technologies and archaeometry in the field of culture protection and preservation has been formally introduced within ICOMOS with the approval of the Interpretation and Presentation of the Cultural Heritage Sites Charter, known as Ename, which was the first international text ratified by ICOMOS to recognize the importance of using virtual reconstructions in the field of archaeological heritage. Numents and artifacts with new methods and techniques from physical sciences (Figure 2) This requires proper implementation of cultural politics accompanied by strategies, to fulfill the provisions of Article 5 of the London Charter: “Strategies should be planned and implemented to ensure the long-term sustainability of cultural heritage-related computer-based visualization outcomes and documentation, in order to avoid loss of this growing part of human intellectual, social, economic and cultural.
