With a history going back to 1972, CAA encourages participation from scholars, specialists and experts in the fields of archaeology, history, cultural heritage, digital scholarship, GIS, mathematics, semantic web, informatics and members of other disciplines that complement and extend the interests of CAA. The Greek chapter of CAA International (CAA-GR) was established in 2012, in order to develop a forum for discussing practical, theoretical and methodological issues involved in the increasing number of computer applications in Greek archaeological and cultural heritage contexts and sharing the results of related research. CAA-GR aims to encourage communication between different disciplines, to provide a survey of present work in the field, to stimulate discussion and further develop relevant research areas. For these reasons, it welcomes archaeologists with expertise from a variety of disciplines in the field of social sciences, life sciences, engineering and arts, actively involved in computer applications in the cultural heritage domain, conservators, mathematicians and computer scientists. This volume contains the proceedings of the 3rd CAA-GR conference, which was held at the Cyprus University of Technology, in Limassol, Cyprus, from Tuesday 19th to Wednesday 20th June 2018. The main venue preceded a workshop entitled 3D Data Processing for Built Heritage and Archaeology: Laser Scanner and Other Low Cost Solutions (Instructors: Luigi Barazzetti, Assistant Professor, Dept. ABC – Politecnico di Milano and Dr. Riccardo Valente, Politecnico di Milano), carried out on Monday, 18th June 2018 in Limassol, Cyprus. The proceedings are divided into six thematic sessions, based on the content of the submitted papers, containing a total of 18 contributions in Greek or English, which have been reviewed by the conference’s scientific committee. The sessions are as follows: (1) Field Prospection and Recording in Support of Archaeological Excavation and Research; (2) Geospatial Technologies for Mapping and Monitoring Cultural Heritage; (3) Cultural Heritage Databases; (4) 3D Reconstruction and Modeling; (5) Modern Technologies for Cultural Heritage Representation and Promotion; (6) Statistical/AgentBased Modeling. We wish to conclude this preface by thanking the CAA-GR Board, the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) for hosting the event and all of the CUT’s students who helped before, during and after the conference. Special thanks are extended to the scientific committee who kindly accepted to review the submitted papers. P. Kyriakidis, A. Agapiou, V.

SARRIS x Welcome Speech Prof. Phaedon Kyriakidis, Chair of the Local Organising Committee Honorable Rector of the Cyprus University of Technology, dear participants, friends and colleagues On behalf of the local organizing committee, it is a great honor and pleasure to welcome you at the 3rd CAA-GR conference here in Limassol, Cyprus, at the premises of the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT). We are proud that, in the spirit of CAA, the 3rd CAA-GR conference is jointly organized by the Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics of CUT and the Archaeological Research Unit (ARU) of the University of Cyprus (UCY). The Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics includes 20 permanent staff and several research associates, and its facilities - being part of those of CUT - lie at the heart of the old town of Limassol. At the undergraduate level, the Department offers two distinct degrees, one in Civil Engineering, and one in Surveying Engineering and Geomatics. At the post-graduate level, the Department offers two MSc programs, one in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Design, and one in Geoinformatics and Geospatial Technologies. A PhD-level program is also in place, hosting several doctoral candidates in a variety of fields, ranging from earthquake engineering and structural analysis to geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensing, GIS and other facets of geoinformatics. Among the Department’s recent research highlights are the H2020 Teaming for Excellence Phase 1 projects – MedSTACH and Excelsior – that both attained highest scores among 208 proposals from coordinating institutions based in the countries of “New Europe”. The two proposals will be competing to secure funding up to 15 million euros each from the European Commission for a period of 7 years, with an additional equal amount of co-funding from the government of Cyprus for a period of 15 years. The Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) is an international organization that brings together a range of scholars, specialists and experts in the fields of archaeology, history, cultural heritage, digital scholarship, GIS, mathematics, semantic web and informatics with an interest in interdisciplinary collaborations. Its aims are to encourage communication between these disciplines, to provide a survey of present work in the field, and to stimulate discussions and networking. The Greek chapter of the international non-profit organization "Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology» (CAA-GR) was established in 2012. Members of CAA-GR are scientists from the fields of archeology, social sciences, life sciences, arts, mathematics, information technology, engineers and scientists in all fields of cultural heritage. As the objectives of CAA-GR are fully aligned with those of the H2020 Teaming for Excellence Phase 1 project with acronym MedSTACH, aiming to design a Cyprus-based, Eastern Mediterranean Science xi and Technology Center of Excellence for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage (for which I will be briefing you shortly), it is only natural that the 3rd CAA-GR conference is also supported by the MedSTACH project. In terms of the actual conference, we are excited to have two days of very interesting presentations -on top of the very successful workshop given yesterday on 3D data processing for built heritage and archaeology: laser scanner and other low-cost solutions -- from a diverse set of authors from 15 countries (apart from Greece and Cyprus). In terms of thematic content, the 3rd CAA-GR conference includes 40 contributions, arranged in 6 (+1 poster) sessions, spread out in 2 days: • Field prospection and recording methods for excavation and laboratory work, • Use of geospatial technologies and remote sensing for mapping the cultural landscape • Modeling, management and semantics of cultural data • 3D reconstruction, modeling and visualization (Part I) • Poster Session • 3D reconstruction, modeling and visualization (Part II) • Application of non-destructive techniques within Cultural Heritage Lunch is provided at the conference venue, whereas dinner is on an individual basis. In closing, we would like to thank the board of CAA-GR for entrusting the organization of the 3rd CAA-GR conference to the Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics of the Cyprus University of Technology and to the Archaeological Research Unit of the University of Cyprus. We would also like to thank the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus for granting free passes to all cultural heritage sites in Limassol for the conference days, and for bestowing the 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage label to this event. We wholeheartedly thank Prof. Maria Iacovou (University of Cyprus) for agreeing to give the plenary speech of the conference, as well as Prof. Luigi Barazzetti and Dr Riccardo Valente (Politecnico di Milano) for coordinating the Monday workshop. Last, we extend our sincere thanks to Smart Events for providing invaluable organizational support, as well as all those who have helped on the ground to make this event a scientifically rewarding and socially enjoyable experience for its participants. xii
