Archeomatica is a multidisciplinary journal, printed in Italy, devoted to the presentation and the dissemination of advanced methodologies, emerging technologies and techniques for the knowledge, documentation, safeguard, conservation and exploitation of cultural heritage.
The journal aims to publish papers of significant and lasting value written by scientists, conservators and archaeologists involved on this field with the diffusion of specific new methodologies and experimental results. Archeomatica will also emphasize fruitful discussion on the best up-to-date scientific applications and exchanging ideas and findings related to any aspect of the cultural heritage sector.
Archeomatica is intended also to be a primary source of multidisciplinary and divulgatia information for the sector of cultural heritage.
The journal is divided in three sections :
Documentazione (Survey and documentation),
Rivelazioni (Analysis, diagnostics and monitoring),
Restauro (Materials and intervention techniques).
The issues are also published on line at the website www.archeomatica.it
Archeomatica invites submissions of high-quality papers and interdisciplinary works for the next issues in all areas related to science and technology in cultural heritage, particularly on recent developments.
If you are interested please submit an original paper to
http://www.mediageo.it/ojs/index.php/archeomatica/information/authors
or you can send an email to:
The papers will be subject to review by the scientific board after which they are accepted or rejected in order to maintain quality. Applicants will be notified by email as to their acceptance.
