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.

(See“The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique”, W.M.S. Russell and R.L. Burch, 1958).
