The aim of the conference was to discuss the contribution of
physics and other sciences in archaeological research and in the
preservation of cultural heritage. Considering that the mission of
ECSAC is to promote the interaction among the diverse cultures of
the peoples from the lands on the Adriatic and Ionian seas, it is
apt that the major themes were related to the rich history and
pre-history of this region - from Greek-Roman archaeology on the
eastern Adriatic coasts to the palaeoanthropology of the
Neanderthals of the Vindija caves in Croatia, from the Roman city
of Aquileia to the pleistocenic cave of Homo heidelbergensis in the
Karst of Visogliano (Trieste), from the Roman ship Julia Felix of
the Grado lagoon to the ancient bronze Apoxyomenos of the Veli
Losinj waters.A variety of scientific disciplines provide tools and
methods that are crucial in reconstructing humanity's past and in
preserving material remains that witness the evolution of human
culture. Geology reconstructs the history of terrestrial
environments, critical for the evolution and dispersal of humans.
Chemistry explains reactions that modify materials left by human
activities, including the destructive effects of pollution. Biology
has a critical role in archaeology, particularly with the recent
advance in analysis of DNA in ancient organic materials.
