Archaeoseismology
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-28302-4 (ISBN)
Archaeoseismic research provides data and information on past earthquakes but is limited by the lack of ongoing discussions about methodology. This volume is an interdisciplinary approach including archaeologists, geologists, geophysicists, seismologists, engineers, and architects from different countries to present a comprehensive recording and interpretation of ancient natural disasters on some case studies. The publication is an introduction to various aspects of the field of archaeoseismology for the knowledge of past seismicity, the reconstruction of the chronological history of a place, the interpretation and identification of seismic effects using different methods, etc. The collection provides an overview of research into archaeoseismology, making new contributions through innovative ideas on various topics. The publication can be an illustrative introduction to better understand the complexity of interpreting seismic effects on ancient and modern masonries, particularly for students with an open mind.
After graduating from the University of Florence in Architecture, Laura Pecchioli has specialized in restoring monuments and technologies for conserving archaeological sites. In addition, she has participated in various interdisciplinary research projects in archaeological building research and archaeological excavations with international interdisciplinary teams (Italy and Jordan).
After completing her European Ph.D. in Technology and Management in Cultural Heritage, Pecchioli has been a lecturer and researcher in heritage conservation-restoration (Florence, Berlin, and Rome). She has also been an external lecturer in Archaeoseismology at Humboldt University and, recently, at TU Wien.
Pecchioli has co-edited different scientific journals and is a member of several European project committees (European Science Foundation). Her current research interests include archaeoseismology, post-disaster recovery, urban and infrastructure resilience, climate change, armed conflicts, damage assessment and risk management.
