Opis

Shows how the digitization of archaeological information and its interplay with non-digital practices affects the outcomes of archaeological work and our general understanding of the human past.

Recenzje

"Any contribution with the word “digital” runs the risk of going quickly out-of-date because it is too focused on the use of specific tools or apps. That is not the case for this volume, which promises lasting value because it explores how digital approaches (regardless of the actual tool used) impact how we perceive the past and our roles in preservation and communication of archaeological content." - Sarah Whitcher Kansa and Eric Kansa, JOURNAL OF EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN ARCHAEOLOGY AND HERITAGE STUDIES
