Abstract
Abstracts of the report of the participants of the 31st EAA Annual Meeting (2-6 September 2025, Belgrade Virtual). A collaboration between the “Archaic” Research Lab and the Institute of Archaeology of the NAS of Ukraine has resulted in the digitization of nearly 100 archaeological materials from Kyiv and Southern Rus’, including sites like the Kytayiv Complex and the Church of Saints Borys and Hlib. These digital tools serve a dual purpose: safeguarding sites from both wartime destruction and urban development, while simultaneously enhancing research through precise morphometric and technological analysis. By integrating initiatives like the Ukrainian Heritage Digitization and Dissemination Initiative (UHDDI), the project ensures that fragile artifacts and in-situ sites remains accessible for future generations, fostering public engagement and cross-cultural studies even under continuous threat.
