New journal: Archeomatica

Archeomatica: the first magazine for cultural technologies

Archeomatica is an Italian journal devoted to the dissemination of
advanced methodologies and technologies for cultural heritage. The
focus is on the latest innovation and technologies for cultural
heritage preservation, restoration, accessibility and valorization.
At this moment it is distributed in Italy and in an increasing
number of foreign countries. Archeomatica is also available free
online.

Archeomatica is a multidisciplinary quarterly magazine (journal),
printed in Italy since December 2009, 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 term "Archeomatica" defines automation dedicated to cultural
heritage and all associated new technologies. The term arose in
2006, replacing the word geomatics (and its prefix geo), with
archeo, for the specific intention of bringing together the science
of automation with the protection of cultural heritage as an
expression of our past.

The journal aims to publish papers of significant and lasting value
written by scientists, conservators and archaeologists involved in
this field, and to disseminate information about new methodologies
and experimental results. Archeomatica will also emphasize fruitful
discussion on the best up-to-date scientific applications and the
exchange of ideas and findings related to the cultural heritage
sector.

Archeomatica accepts contributions from scientists, conservators,
and professionals engaged in the application and development of
innovative technologies for cultural heritage.

The journal is divided in three main sections: Documentazione
(survey and documentation), Rivelazioni (analysis, diagnostics and
monitoring), Restauro (materials and intervention techniques). Pages
are also devoted to news from ICCROM, UNESCO and other important
organizations.

In the journal are also reports on events, training courses and the
latest news from field.

Severally publications concern important case studies: Ebla
discovery with geomagnetic technologic, non-invasive techniques for
studying the paintings of Caravaggio, and the development of an
earthquake-resistant marble base for Bronzes of Riace.

At this moment it is published four times per year and distributed
in Italy as well as in an increasing number of foreign countries. It
is also available for online access. Archeomatica carries
information on products, exhibitions and related events. Its target
readers are university and institutional researchers, and
professionals working in conservation and museum offices, university
libraries and any other organizations and people involved in the
field of cultural heritage.

Archeomatica is open access and now it is cataloged in Directory of
Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
