How Technological Innovation Can Drive Greater Accessibility and Inclusivity in Archaeology - Archaeotech 212

2019 ArchaeoTech.jpeg

Archaeology is always seen as a field pursuit and for the most part, it is. However the interpretations of archaeology should be accessible to all. Our guests today, Dr. Alessandro Sebastiani and Dr. Laura Morabito presented their thoughts on accessibility in archaeology at the World Archaeology Summit in Alula, Saudi Arabia in September 2023. They discuss things like 3D reconstruction and VR as tools to bring people to archaeological sites and research without physically bringing them there.

Tech in Conferences: “Post-” COVID, what have we learned? - ArchaeoTech 196

2019 ArchaeoTech.jpeg

Conferences have pretty much never changed in the archaeology world. We’re still doing the same things we’ve done for decades. Sure, the abstract station is gone and now there is often an app to see what’s up next, but, there’s a lot more that could be done to make the travel to the venue more “worth it”. On this episode we toss out a few ideas and a few crazy ideas for conference organizers to consider.

The Changing Landscape of Archaeological Survey - ArchaeoTech 195

2019 ArchaeoTech.jpeg

Though excavation is pretty much synonymous with archaeological fieldwork in the popular and professional imagination, the bulk of the work that we, as archaeologists, do is survey. In the decades that Chris and Paul have been doing archaeological survey we’ve seen great improvements in how they can be planned and carried out, in large part do to tech that’s more ubiquitous, robust, and cheaper than it was when we started. Today we discuss what we’ve already gained and what we hope the future brings.
