The EXCALIBUR project recently reached a wider public audience through a dedicated television report broadcast by Videolina TV, one of Sardinia’s leading regional broadcasters. Aired on 14 June 2026, the report highlighted how EXCALIBUR is bringing advanced technologies into archaeological research and opening new possibilities for the interpretation and documentation of ancient cultural heritage.
Titled “Sant’Antioco, Progetto EXCALIBUR: le nuove tecnologie al servizio dell’archeologia“ (in english “Sant’Antioco, EXCALIBUR Project: New Technologies at the Service of Archaeology”), the television segment focused on the project’s activities in Sant’Antioco, Sardinia, and the innovative research carried out within EXCALIBUR with the involvement of project partner CRS4.
During the report, our partner from CRS4, Dr. Ruggero Pintus, was interviewed and spoke about the work being carried out as part of the project’s second pilot site in Sant’Antioco. His contribution offered viewers insights into how innovative digital technologies are being applied to support archaeological research and enhance the study and documentation of burial heritage.
Reported by journalist Alessandro Caltabiano, the segment brought EXCALIBUR’s scientific and technological work directly to regional audiences, helping make advanced digital archaeology more accessible to the wider public.
Bringing Digital Archaeology Closer to the Public
Media coverage such as the Videolina TV report plays an important role in bringing scientific research beyond academic and professional communities. By presenting EXCALIBUR’s work through regional television, complex technological innovations become more accessible and relevant to local audiences, particularly to the communities connected to the cultural heritage being studied.
The feature also helps raise awareness of how digital technologies can contribute to the preservation and understanding of archaeological heritage, while highlighting the importance of connecting scientific innovation with local history, places, and communities.
For EXCALIBUR, this television presence represents another important opportunity to communicate the project’s vision: using innovative, accessible, and interdisciplinary technologies to transform the study, documentation, conservation, and restoration of burial heritage across Europe.
