In the past two years, we have approached these questions, which are relevant not only to archaeological but also to other cultural heritage, in different ways. Instead of individual archaeological sites and finds, which abound here in the National Museum, we have focused on archaeological landscapes that contain traces of thousands of years of human use. The biggest problem with archaeological heritage is its visibility. Most visitors to archaeological digs often find it difficult to fully understand the archaeologist's interpretation when looking at excavated caves, tribunes, chimneys or foundations, let alone understand the complex processes in space that we can uncover by analyzing aerial photographs or laser scanning from the explore air. In the project, we not only deal with understanding the interpretation of archaeological heritage but also with the visibility or presence of archaeological heritage online, on social media or in a virtual environment.
