The social media in the dissemination of archaeological heritage: The example of the rock-art area of Cidade de Pedra - Rondonópolis / MT and a case study of the Mano Aroe site

Abstract

The use of social media is a fundamental tool in the dissemination of archaeological heritage. It is through them that the distance between the production of scientific knowledge and its dissemination to a broad public, whether specialized or not, is minimized. It is through social platforms, mediated by the Internet, that it becomes possible to disseminate the long-range archaeological knowledge, beyond the limits of the academy. This article will present a project proposal for the dissemination of the rock -art heritage of the Cidade de Pedra, through a case study of the Mano Aroe rock-art site. In order to do so, it will be presented a description of the Mano Aroe rock-art site and the Cidade de Pedra area, the construction stages of the 3D models, the elements for creating a webpage for the dissemination of archaeological heritage through 3D models in Sketchfab.
