In this paper we present a new study about the Amiadoso plaque (Allariz, Ourense) has been developed, in which this Roman object has been analysed from an interdisciplinary point of view based in the combination of stylistic and archaeometric studies of its material. Consequently, we have linked up the analysis of the different artistic phases of this piece from a formal study with the identification of the marble used, which confirms a local provenance (O Incio area). These new data provide essential information, given the exceptional nature of this object, to recognize aspects related to technical quality of local workshops and consequently about social, economic and political implications of this type of productions in the Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. ; En este artículo se presenta un nuevo estudio sobre la placa de Amiadoso (Allariz, Ourense), que consiste en un análisis interdisciplinar en el que se combina la perspectiva estilística con el estudio arqueométrico del soporte material. De esta manera, a la contextualización cronológica de las diferentes fases de la pieza a partir de su estudio formal, hemos unido la identificación del mármol utilizado, cuyo resultado confirma un origen local (área de O Incio). Este nuevo dato aporta información esencial, dada la excepcionalidad de la pieza, para conocer aspectos vinculados a la calidad técnica de los talleres locales, y consecuentemente sobre las implicaciones económicas, sociales y políticas de este tipo de producciones dentro del noroeste de la Península Ibérica.

Sustainability in Cultural Heritage (CH) is a complex question that needs to be addressed by a group of experts tackling the different issues. In this light, the present work wishes to provide a multi-level analysis of the sustainability in CH, using as an example a recent European H2020 project (CrossCult) and the lessons learnt from its design, implementation and evaluation. The sustainability of CH has qualitatively changed over the last few years, under the developments in digital technology that seems to affect the very nature of the cultural experience. We discuss sustainability in venues using digital technologies, covering a span of needs of small/unknown and large/popular venues, which try to enhance the visitor experience, attract visitors, form venue networks, etc. Moreover, we explore issues of sustainability of digital content and its re usability through holistic design. Aspects of technology, human networks and data sustainability are also presented, and we conclude with the arguments concerning the sustainability of visitor reflection, the interpretation of social and historical phenomena and the creation of meaning. ; This research was funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 693150.

The Horizon 2020 project CrossCult aims to highlight historical and cultural associations between different characters, locations, events, venues, or artworks, to develop new strategies with which to promote intercultural and cross-border aspects of history and heritage. This paper presents a pilot app that provides graph-based visualizations of those associations, arranged by Humanities experts in relation to several reflective topics, and glued together by narratives that may present the same facts from diverse points of view. After querying a knowledge base that brings together several Linked Data resources, the associations are curated by the experts using a dedicated tool, to ensure that only meaningful associations appear on the mobile app. In turn, the app users can contribute new associations in the form of written text, which the experts can turn into new concepts and properties in the knowledge base. Here, we present the design of the mobile app and the experts' tool, together with the results of early experiments aimed at assessing the instructional value of the proposal. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 693150.
