The aim of the Network of UK-IRL researchers and partners is to address the challenges of uncovering hidden archaeological landscapes, buildings and monuments through digital documentation and visualisation. Heritage landscapes may remain hidden because their significance is simply not recognised or because knowledge of them is specific to specialists and not conveyed to the public. The transformative effect on knowledge exchange will be seen through communicating new knowledge to a socially inclusive public audience.The network includes archaeologists and heritage scientists from the University of Bradford, University of Aberdeen, NUI Galway and University College Cork. The UK partner is Historic Environment Scotland. IRL national partners include the National Monuments Service, the National Museum of Ireland and the Discovery Programme. The Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark, the Burren College of Art, the Caherconnell Centre, Clare County Council, Wicklow County Council and the Carlow Archaeological and Historical Society are the regional and local partners, with key input from independent artist Sarah O'Connor. Researchers, partners and participants will develop the project through three workshops and a public symposium.Five discrete archaeological landscapes, in Rathgall, Co. Wicklow and the Burren, Co Clare, have been selected to showcase the project. A range of digital documentation and visualisation technologies will be trialled on hidden elements of (1) the unexplored settled landscape of Rathgall hillfort linked with a new Bronze Age social elite; (2) a large enclosure/ long cairn on Turlough Hill, a highly significant place for ritual gatherings in Neolithic and Bronze Age Burren; (3) artefacts from archaeological excavations at the medieval settlement enclosure of Caherconnell/ its multi-period landscape setting; (4) the unknown northern extent of the Chalcolithic - Early Bronze Age landscape of farms, field walls, and ritual monuments at Roughan Hill; and (5) a late medieval building which may have a hidden identity as a brehon law school, at Toomullin on the Atlantic coast of Burren. The narratives that we can generate about the material remains of human activity in the past is often limited by partial and broken views of the places in which individuals and communities once went about their lives. Digital technologies have the potential to extend and develop existing stories of places and can bring new narratives to bear on established views of the meaning of past built environments. Encouraging people working in different fields, especially in the creative industries to respond to and use 3D imagery and visualisation produced through the activities of this network will be an important dimension of the project. The National Museum of Ireland, the Burren College of Art (BCA) and independent artist, Sarah O'Connor will contribute to this creative process of reimagining the past in landscapes of the Burren and Wicklow. The project will also be a training opportunity for postgraduate students from Irish universities and QUB who will be invited to attend the technology trials and the public symposium. The use of digital documentation within archaeology and the humanities has the potential to stimulate interest from new and under-represented user groups - including young, disabled or otherwise disadvantaged sections in society - using dynamic, flexible and accessible delivery modes. Economic opportunities for heritage and tourism enterprises may also be promoted by the use of engaging/ immersive mixed (virtual and augmented) reality content of local monuments/ landscapes and by the creation of replicas and 3D prints of associated artefacts. The network will share knowledge through an interactive website, film and other artistic media together with 3D visualisation, mixed reality, and 3D prints of monuments and artefacts and a peer-reviewed journal article.

UK-IRL研究人员和合作伙伴网络的目标是通过数字文档和可视化来解决发现隐藏的考古景观，建筑物和纪念碑的挑战。遗产景观可能仍然被隐藏，因为它们的重要性根本没有得到承认，或者因为它们的知识是专家特有的，而不是向公众传达的。通过向具有社会包容性的公众传播新知识，将看到知识交流的变革效果，该网络包括布拉德福德大学、阿伯丁大学、NUI高威和科克大学学院的考古学家和遗产科学家。英国的合作伙伴是苏格兰历史环境。爱尔兰国家伙伴包括国家古迹服务处、爱尔兰国家博物馆和发现方案。莫赫教科文组织世界地质公园的布尔伦和悬崖、布尔伦艺术学院、卡赫康奈尔中心、克莱尔县理事会、威克洛县理事会和卡洛考古和历史学会是区域和地方合作伙伴，独立艺术家莎拉奥康纳提供了重要投入。研究人员、合作伙伴和参与者将通过三个讲习班和一个公开研讨会来开发该项目。在拉斯格尔，有限公司威克洛和布尔伦，有限公司克莱尔，五个离散的考古景观被选中来展示该项目。一系列数字文档和可视化技术将在以下隐藏元素上进行试验：（1）与新青铜时代社会精英联系在一起的未经探索的Rathgall hillfort定居景观;（2）Turlough Hill上的大型围栏/长石堆，新石器时代和青铜时代布尔伦的仪式集会的重要场所;（3）在Caherconnell的中世纪定居圈/其多时期景观环境中考古发掘的文物;（4）在鲁汉山未知的北方铜器时代-青铜器时代早期的农场、田野墙和仪式纪念碑景观;和（5）中世纪晚期的建筑，可能有一个隐藏的身份作为brehon法学院，在图穆林在大西洋海岸的布尔伦。我们对过去人类活动的物质遗迹所能产生的叙述，往往受到个人和社区曾经生活过的地方的片面和破碎的观点的限制。数字技术有可能扩展和发展现有的地方故事，并可以带来新的叙事，以影响对过去建筑环境意义的既定观点。鼓励在不同领域工作的人们，特别是在创意产业中，响应和使用通过该网络活动产生的3D图像和可视化将是该项目的一个重要方面。爱尔兰国家博物馆、布尔伦艺术学院（BCA）和独立艺术家莎拉·奥康纳（Sarah O 'Connor）将为这一重新想象布尔伦和威克洛风景过去的创作过程做出贡献。该项目还将为来自爱尔兰大学和昆士兰大学的研究生提供培训机会，他们将被邀请参加技术试验和公共研讨会。在考古学和人文学科中使用数字文献，有可能利用动态、灵活和无障碍的提供方式，激发新的和代表性不足的用户群体的兴趣，包括年轻人、残疾人或社会中的其他弱势群体。通过使用当地古迹/景观的吸引人/沉浸式混合（虚拟和增强）现实内容，以及通过创建相关人工制品的复制品和3D打印，也可以促进遗产和旅游企业的经济机会。该网络将通过互动网站、电影和其他艺术媒体以及3D可视化、混合现实、纪念碑和文物的3D打印以及同行评审的期刊文章分享知识。
