Impact of viewing time on aesthetic experience of Christian medieval Nubian wall paintings
Aesthetic experience may foster positive connections between visitors and heritage sites. However, the way people engage with and esthetically experience archaeological heritage is not yet well understood. To address this gap, in the present on-site study, we explored how viewers’ cultural backgrounds might influence their aesthetic experience of Christian medieval Nubian wall paintings. Specifically, Sudanese and Western subjects were asked to v…
What is Visible to Whom in Geophysical Data? A Psychological Study on the Analysis of Magnetic Maps from Soba (Sudan)
Experts in magnetometry detected almost 16% more features as archaeologists, Psychological tools may aid communication among recipients of geophysical data
Spectatorship of Medieval Nubian Paintings
Our understanding of how visitors’ cultural backgrounds shape their visual engagement with archaeological heritage remains relatively limited. The present study explores the effect of visitors’ cultural backgrounds on visual inspection. Forty-eight Sudanese and 19 Western visitors of the Monastery on Kom H at the Old Dongola archaeological site (Sudan) were asked to view 17 medieval Nubian wall paintings while their eye movements were being recor…
Eye-tracking in archaeological practice
Eye-tracking is a powerful tool that enables the understanding of visual attention through analysis of gaze patterns. Although sight is one of the senses crucial for learning about the past, the eye-tracking technology is still rarely used in archaeology. This paper discusses current applications, potential, and challenges of eye-tracking in archaeological practice in order to foster a broader use of this method. In particular, the article invest…
Enhancing Archaeological Teaching Through Eye-Tracking
Visual analysis of artefacts is fundamental to archaeological research. However, learning and teaching the methods of artefact analysis can be challenging, since it is cognitively demanding to observe and explain how visual processing works. This paper addresses this challenge and evaluates eye movement modelling examples, a newly adopted method for teaching visual analysis of artefacts. Educational materials containing recordings of eye movement…
The spatial organisation of Soba
Recent geophysical exploration and excavations, together with new radiocarbon dates, have shed light on the spatial organisation of medieval Soba in Sudan, and can partly be connected to the oral histories of the city's demise
Heritage for All – A Contribution to the Inclusion of People with Intellectual Disabilities in Archaeology
This paper discusses the results of project entitled Heritage for all: Perception of the past and archaeo- logical heritage by people with intellectual disabili- ties, which the authors carried out on a group of 14 young individuals who were diagnosed with intel- lectual disabilities. The project aimed to detect how the past is perceived and conceptualized by students with learning and cognitive problems and how we, archaeologists and museum work…
Interdisciplinary Research into the Legacy of the Medieval Metropolis of Soba in a Modern Khartoum Suburb
Recent research at Soba focuses on the tangible and intangible heritage of the medieval capital of Alwa kingdom, whose remains cover approximately 275 ha. About 222 ha of this area has been built up or transformed into agricultural land in the past 30 years. An ethnographic survey was also carried out in the built-up area to understand how the residents engage with the archaeological heritage and material remains. The undeveloped area of the capi…
