The Municipality of Concordia, through the General Coordination of Tourism and the Museum of Anthropology and Natural Sciences, held a virtual conference on regional archaeology and the use of satellite technology.
The presentation was led by Dr. Victoria Coll Moritán, who presented the progress of her research on the coast of the Uruguay River, incorporating innovative technological tools for the study of heritage.
The official opening of the meeting was led by the director of the General Coordination of Tourism, Marcelo Spomer, together with the coordinator of Museums and Heritage Management, Prof. Paulo Tisocco, and Mg. Silvia Cettour, head of the Department of the Museum of Anthropology and Natural Sciences, who organized the activity.
During her presentation, Moritán proposed a historical journey through the pioneers of archaeological rescues in Entre Ríos, with special emphasis on the Salto Grande region. In this context, she presented a satellite map developed using cutting-edge technologies, which allows for the location of existing sites before the filling of the reservoir, as well as the sites investigated by her team downstream from the dam.
Likewise, the specialist delved into the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the development of predictive prospecting models in the middle and lower basins of the Uruguay River. These tools, which integrate digital elevation models and vector layers, make it possible to process a large amount of information, complementing fieldwork and allowing for the reconstruction of aspects of regional history that remained hidden under water or sediment.
The conference was broadcast from the Coworking Space of the Concordia Convention Center.
