Exploitable results Sciences and techniques for cultural heritage The project concerns the development of intensive contacts between the worlds of sciences and techniques for cultural heritage in the NIS countries. One part of the project was devoted to an inventory of the teams and resources in this field and over the former Soviet Union. About 60 answers to a questionnaire were received and the directory is kept on a File Maker Pro database. Colleagues in this field were invited to present their research in a joint symposium at St Petersburg in 1995, in order to compare methods and results. A second symposium, specializing in carbon-14, was held in Lobusalu, Estonia for comparing dating results between East and West. AU methods covering analysis, prospection, dating, environmental archaeology, aerial photography etc. Three hundred participants from Vilnius to Vladivostok attended this meeting, which had several follow-ups for projects and further contacts between East and West. The proceedings are in print as two volumes. In addition, the project involved magnetic prospecting for predicting the presence and forms of buildings and buried structures, especially in ones liberated from military occupation and situated in rapidly urbanizing areas. With respect to the use of electronic archiving of images of excavations in rarely visited areas in Crimea, about 1500 documents were obtained and recorded on a compact disc (CD) covering Crimean sites. They provide a unique synthesis of current research in these hitherto difficult areas and allow a projection of the needs for future research. Searching for OpenAIRE data...
