New technologies are enabling re-examination of the past. Through data mining, integration, and visualization; remote sensing imaging techniques; and enhanced communication systems; it is possible to supplement the work of past historians seeking to understand ancient communication and exchange networks across Asian territories and seas.
Hosted by the Quangnam Center for Conservation of Monuments and Heritage, New Perspectives on Ancient Connections brings together specialists from a range of fields, including museums, academia, informatics, GIS, and cultural heritage preservation, to organize a conference that will foreground the use of new technologies in the study of exchange dynamics within Southeast Asia and between Southeast Asia and China.
Following the conference planning sessions, a
