Digital Heritage and Archaeology in Practice: Presentation, Teaching, and Engagement

Description

Exploring the use of digital methods in heritage studies and archaeological research The two volumes of Digital Heritage and Archaeology in Practice bring together archaeologists and heritage professionals from private, public, and academic sectors to discuss practical applications of digital and computational approaches to the field. Contributors thoughtfully explore the diverse and exciting ways in which digital methods are being deployed in archaeological interpretation and analysis, museum collections and archives, and community engagement, as well as the unique challenges that these approaches bring. This volume begins with discussions of digitization at museums and other heritage institutions, including ethical questions around access to archives associated with descendant communities and the use of metadata standards to preserve records for the future. Next, case studies provide several examples of public and community engagement with archaeology using digital tools. The volume concludes with information on ways archaeologists have taught digital methods to both students and professionals, addressing field school contexts and open source software for mapping and 3D imaging. Digital Heritage and Archaeology in Practice highlights the importance of community, generosity, and openness in the use of digital tools and technologies. Providing a purposeful counterweight to the idea that digital archaeology requires expensive infrastructure, proprietary software, complicated processes, and opaque workflows, these volumes privilege perspectives that embrace straightforward and transparent approaches as models for the future.
