2. A communication strategy to improve public enjoyment<br />

The translation of scientific data into popular data is one of the problem that we have to address to correctly<br />

define a communication project. The aim is to underst<strong>and</strong> the meaning of the archaeological finds, to<br />

reconstruct the archaeological l<strong>and</strong>scape <strong>and</strong> the relationship with the existing l<strong>and</strong>scape.<br />

The spread of archaeological knowledge is very important for citizens, first users of <strong>cultural</strong> heritage. To have<br />

awareness of the role, that citizens can play in conservation <strong>and</strong> valorisation of the territory where they live, it<br />

can be more powerful than any law to preserve the archaeological heritage.<br />

From a methodological point of view the stages that characterize a communication project designed to<br />

increase the value of archaeological heritage are: analysis of the sources, data acquisition in archaeological<br />

sites with different technology, data processing <strong>and</strong> the definition of the communication project.<br />

We are more interested in the theoretical framework for defining the communication project than to the<br />

problem related to the acquisition methods <strong>and</strong> data processing.<br />

Message can generally be decomposed into two components content <strong>and</strong> media <strong>and</strong> to develop an effective<br />

communication project it is very important to know the information you have to send (content); only in this<br />

way you are able to operate the simplification necessary to provide an accurate information <strong>and</strong> to select the<br />

appropriate media (form of communication).<br />

In our case the content to transmit is the story of a place, Cumae, transformed over the time from <strong>nature</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

human actions. The selected media to transmit information is digital media an the recipient of a<br />

communication project is a non-specialist audience, so it is necessary to submit all disclosures to help them<br />

to decode the "sign" are still present.<br />
