Abstract

Cultural Heritage education relies on a solid foundation of scientifically validated knowledge. This case study shows how different disciplines come together to source, combine, and interpret data for a landscape reconstruction of Larochette, Luxembourg. It is the initial stage of a larger interdisciplinary project to create an educational game that highlights the tangible and intangible heritage that can be traced in the town’s structures even today.

This chapter was funded by the Luxembourg Fonds National de la Recherche.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Such as the three official names for Larochette; Larochette, Fels, Fiels.

  2. 2.

    We use the term minor place names or micro-toponyms for anything smaller than towns (e.g. fields). Their meanings are provided in idiomatic English for purposes of this article.

  3. 3.

    In biology, a “dramatype” is an organism that adapts to changes in its environment directly, within the lifespan of a particular individual, as opposed to the phenotype, the expression of the genotype of a particular population that has developed within a particular environment. (See“The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique”, W.M.S. Russell and R.L. Burch, 1958).

  4. 4.

    The observer’s height above the ground was roughly estimated from the number of stories in each part of the building.

  5. 5.
