Costas Papadopoulos is an Assistant Professor in Digital Humanities & Culture Studies at Maastricht University. His work has its roots in ethnography, archaeology, digital humanities, and museum and cultural studies, exploring modelling and representation at the intersections of the physical and the
digital. It advances understandings of the experience and perception of heritage; engages with debates on the role of interactive research in digital humanities; explores ways to build epistemological frameworks for multimodal research; and integrates Arts into STE(A)M learning via socially-engaged
research by facilitating digital literacy and creative thinking. Most of his research has focused on digital applications in archaeology and heritage with a particular emphasis on 3D visualisation. He is PI of PURE3D which develops an Infrastructure for the Publication and Preservation of 3D
Scholarship.

Holley Moyes is a Professor of Anthropology and Heritage Studies and an Affiliate Faculty in the Cognitive and Information Sciences department at the University of California, Merced. Her main area of expertise is the archaeology of religion and she is particularly interested in ritual spaces.
Although most of her field work is conducted in ancient Maya ritual cave sites in Belize, Central America, her broader interests encompass cross-cultural ritual cave use. She has published over 40 journal articles and book chapters on the subject of caves and her book Sacred Darkness: A Global
Perspective on the Ritual Use of Caves won a 2013 Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Title.
