UNESCO in the UK National Commission publishes report on The Kassandra Project’s Vindolanda pilot study
We are pleased to share the publication of the UNESCO in the UK National Commission report on The Kassandra Project – Vindolanda Pilot Study.
The pilot study explored how digital twins, environmental monitoring, and resilience assessment frameworks can support the long-term preservation and management of underground archaeology and heritage landscapes facing increasing climatic and environmental pressures.
Carried out at Vindolanda, one of the world’s most significant archaeological landscapes, the project provided an important opportunity to test and develop new approaches to predictive modelling, resilience assessment, and heritage management. The work demonstrates how innovative digital tools can help heritage organisations better understand future risks, support evidence-based decision-making, and strengthen the resilience of vulnerable archaeological sites.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Matt Rabagliati, Dr Andrew Birley, and everyone at The Vindolanda Trust for their collaboration, support, and vision throughout the project.
