In 2021 an ethnographic field analysis gathered perceptions and personal stories related to the cultural and archaeological heritage of the area. Through the interviews, it was possible to create a bottom-up archaeological map and a toponymic map, based on the stories and memories of the inhabitants. The interviews were also subjected to advanced textual analysis using topic modeling techniques, allowing the identification and analysis of the main topics and word association networks present in the participants’ discourse.

The proposed approach combines web archeology and digital artivism to construct community memories that can be used for social activation in relation to climate change. The research draws on participatory and community-based research techniques, citizen-science approaches, and digital methods to collect dispersed community-memory fragments and create an expressive space for the diverse perspectives and needs of the affected populations. It emphasises the importance of inclusivity and non-polarizing approaches for reconstructing and interpreting narrative streams that propagate in the physical and virtual world, and for representing, through digital art, extreme events and their societal impact. To illustrate the proposed approach, the AquaGranda project is here presented as a case study of community memory related to an extreme event: the high tides that occurred in Venice in November 2019.

This section focuses on the construction of the Aqua Granda Digital Community Memory itself. The first contribution is by the team from the EU ODYCCEUS project and Science Gallery Venice that played a pivotal role in setting up the computational infrastructure necessary to the Aqua Granda archive, initiating and carrying out conversations with the citizens of Venice, and contacting many other stakeholders that expanded the platform of the project. The title of their contribution is ‘How to digitally construct a community memory’, written by Costanza Sartoris, Marco Paladini, Carlo Santagiustina, Michele Schiavinato, Gabriella Traviglia.

PCA publishes a variety of manuscript types, including original research, discussions and review articles. Topics of interest include all subjects that relate to the science and practice of archaeology, particularly multidisciplinary research which use specialist methodologies, such as zooarchaeology, paleobotany, archaeometallurgy, archaeometry, spatial analysis, as well as other experimental methodologies applied to the archaeology of post-classical Europe. Submission of a manuscript implies that the work has not been published before, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere and that it has been approved by all co-authors.
