Researchers at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have created an open archaeological laboratory which aims to integrate a broad sector of the population into the digitisation, analysis, and dissemination process of the archaeological heritage documented in the Community of Madrid. This laboratory, created with help from the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT, in its Spanish acronym) from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, will provide an opportunity for the local population to get to know the archaeological heritage of Madrid and its management, as well as contribute to research and the free, open dissemination of the findings. In addition to this, it provides participants with the opportunity to receive the basic training needed to start archaeological research. A volunteer programme has been launched within the framework of this project, led by Jesús Bermejo Tirado from the UC3M's Institute of Culture and Technology, as part of this Open Digital Archaeology Laboratory (LADA, in its Spanish acronym). The activity has just begun and is planned to continue until next May.
