Abstract

This paper explores the work done so far on creating and using digital data regarding stecci – UNESCO-listed world heritage from medieval Bosnia. Firstly, the paper reveals a slow, but steady progress towards creating a wholistic digital catalogue of all existing stecci necropolises and tombstones. Secondly, it discovers an encouraging trend of innovative research methods for analysing these digital data, as well as for production of digital art inspired by these important monuments. Finally, the paper identifies the main problem that hinders faster progress towards ‘digital stecci’ in the costly and somewhat piecemeal approach evidenced in individual endeavours of scholars, professionals and/or artists. More coordinated effort and teamwork is recommended as a way forward.
