Archaeological theory; Archaeological methodology & techniques

Series: One World Archaeology

Traditional methods of making archaeological data available are becoming increasingly inadequate. Thanks to

improved techniques for examining data from multiple viewpoints, archaeologists are now in a position to choose to record different kinds of data, and to explore that data more fully than ever before. The growing availability of computer networks and other technologies means that communication should become increasingly open and available to archaeologists in all parts of the world. Will this result in the democratization of archaeological knowledge on a global basis? For the first time archaeology practised with technical developments can be contrasted with archaeology undertaken in relative

technological isolation. The chapters deal not only with technologies like solid modelling, videodisc, hypertext and expert systems as used in archaeology, but also discuss topics

such as the use of information technology to integrate large scale research in East Africa, and the dissemination of the cultural practice of Tibetan art. Contributors come from Western and Eastern Europe, the Far East, Africa and the Americas.

Reviews for Archaeology and the Information Age

Presents the very latest developments in the application of information technology to archaeology . . . The collective strength of these papers is that they deal with real problems in the practice of archaeology, either doing creating things we could not have done before, or finding more efficient ways of tackling old problems. . . . Archaeology and the Information Age does something remarkable, in showing us as much about the future as it does about the past. <br>- British Archaeological News <br> This volume's comprehensive coverage makes it an indispensable source book. <br>- New Scientist <br>
