Usos da tecnologia na arqueologia: arqueologia da guerra e do conflito e os impactos do uso do lidar para o mapeamento do patrimônio das grandes guerras mundiais

Abstract

The research in question addresses the use of. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology in the archeology of conflict, focusing on the great world wars. LiDAR is a device that combines laser and radar, widely used in earth sciences, such as geography and agronomy. Since 2010, researchers such as Cornelis Stal, Jean Bourgeois, Philippe de Meyer, Guy De Mulder, Alain De Wulf, Rudi Goossens, Timothy Nuttesns and Birger Stichelbaut have explored the use of. LiDAR in conflict archaeology. The study also focuses on the relationship between technology and history, highlighting that the history of. LiDAR dates back to the great world wars, but its initial inspiration goes back to Albert Einstein's studies on photons in 1905. The archaeology of conflict is a subfield of archaeology that analyzes the material culture of wars and conflicts. The research seeks to understand the origin and methodological development of this sub-area, using the historiography of conflict archeology, which includes several denominations, such as battlefield archaeology, holocaust archaeology, war and conflict archeology. The great world wars are defined as the historical period between 1914 and 1945, and the article explores the reasons and outcomes of these conflicts, approaching the thirty-one year war described by Hobsbawm. The research uses images and studies that focus on the use of. LiDAR in the archaeology of the great world wars, seeking to reflect on the impact of this technology in the area. LiDAR can non-invasively and remotely contribute to archaeological prospecting, in addition to helping to identify objects that, by law, cannot be manipulated, such as firearms and bullets in the Netherlands. The theoretical framework of the research covers the history of science and contemporary history, the latter comprising the periods after the French Revolution. The history of science, in turn, covers a wide and varied field, depending on the researcher and the object of study.
