Excellent- More about Digital Archaeology: Promises and Impasses
Digital and technological advancements in archaeology have led to the use of GIS databases, 3D models, drone photography, meta- and para-data, semantic mapping, text mining, simulation, and social network analysis. However, there are still persistent impasses and questions about when, how, and why these tools fail. This volume discusses the state of the art, the societal impact of digital innovations, current issues in archaeological data management, promises and limitations of isotopic research and remote sensing techniques, and why subfields such as agent-based modelling and serious gaming struggle to keep momentum.

Archaeology has embraced digital technologies for several years, leading to the integration of GIS databases, 3D models, drone photography, meta- and para-data, semantic mapping, text mining, simulation, and social network analysis into archaeological discourse and practice. These advancements have brought numerous promises, including enhanced data recording, analysis, and dissemination. However, after decades of innovation, it is essential to assess which of these promises have been fulfilled and which persistent impasses remain. In this volume, scholars and practitioners in the field explore the state of the art, the promises and impasses of digital approaches to archaeology, and the societal impact of digital innovations. They discuss the current state of teaching digital archaeology, the societal impact of digital innovations, current issues in archaeological data management, the promises and limitations of isotopic research and remote sensing techniques, and the challenges faced by subfields such as agent-based modelling and serious gaming.
